This article presents the results of a scientific initiation research that aimed to reflect on the difficulties and facilities of remote work with people with intellectual disabilities. Due to the pandemic scenario, in front of COVID-19, the five meetings held took place remotely, using the Google Meet platform. Six adults diagnosed with intellectual disabilities participated, who attend a Civil Society Organization that provides a support service for Adult Life, with programs that seek to support social inclusion, located in the city of Campinas/SP. The analysis was based on the theoretical-methodological assumptions of Historical-Cultural Psychology, especially those of Vigotski. The results indicate that difficulties in communicating, sharing meanings and handling technology are obstacles to the development of people with disabilities. However, it is concluded that the activity of telling and listening to stories enhances spaces for development and sharing of sense and meaning, without denying the differences and adaptive needs, but as a possibility of joint construction of possible paths for an effective inclusion.

Keywords : Inclusive education; historical-cultural psychology; psychology of art.
