This project aims to reapplication of research developed in Portugal by Professor Carlos Veloso da Veiga, published in the book Professional Inclusion and Quality of Life; therefore, your goals are similar to that research, and are the following: 1- check that young workers with intellectual disabilities were adequately prepared by educational institutions to work, considering were formed special institutions or the regular school and the socioeconomic status of their families; 2- they are well included in their jobs, considering their productivity and relationships with colleagues, bosses and clients; and 3 if, after employment, they could expand their circle of friends, their autonomy and consequent welfare.

For two periods each of the young workers with intellectual disabilities will be observed, and this observation will be recorded on a routine Daily; and each of the above listed subjects will be interviewed through scripts with open questions.
