The methodologies are teaching models that contribute to the development of autonomy in the participation of students with or without disabilities in an integral way. Thus, this research has the general objective of analyzing the use of methodologies in the teaching process of children with Intellectual Disabilities in a state school, located on the outskirts of Natal/RN. Thus, we have as a research methodology the qualitative approach. In this sense, the study was divided into the following steps: characterization as active methodology used in the teaching process of students with intellectual disabilities; to describe educators' conceptions of active methodologies for teaching children with intellectual disabilities in the application school; to systematize strategies using active methodologies for teaching these children. However, the student's results showed as benefits of teaching and learning methodologies, the development of learning autonomy, the protagonist of their learning breaking the traditional model. Teamwork, the integration between theory and practice, the development of a critical view of reality and the favoring of a formative assessment were highlighted. Therefore, we understand this methodology as potentiating tools for education professionals from different teaching modalities that seek to break traditional teaching models. In addition, pedagogical practices are benefited and the entire educational process is improved.
