It was considered factors that could interfere with their perception, such as contact with students with disabilities, attitudes have taken in the classroom, knowledge about inclusion and also the support and support offered by the institution. It was based on the case study of the professors of the Faculty of Philosophy and Sciences (FFC), Unesp, Marília Campus / SP. The data collected from a questionnaire indicated that teachers have a favorable perception regarding the inclusion process; however, they recognize that their attitudes are flawed and their training in the area is incipient, which leads them to feel insecure and unprepared.
