Abstract
The National Policy on Special Education in Inclusive Education Perspective advocates the linkage between health and education services to attend the special educational needs. From this perspective, the purpose of this article is to reflect about the problems reported by educators who embody this policy, especially with regard to the interrelationships between health and education. For this, the results are presented from a survey in which they interviewed eight teachers from municipal public schools in Santos (SP) who taught students with disabilities and / or pervasive developmental disorder. The interviews cover a lack of coordination between the two areas, maintaining the health in the position of expertise supposedly able to cure the ills of education, which strengthens pathological processes and medicalized solutions, thus avoiding the questioning and rearrangement educational practices. The article points to the need for effective collaboration between health and education, where both retain their specificities and enrich each other.
