Hence, the enrollment of the Target Students of Special Education proposed new challenges, both in High School Education and in technical and technological education. Thus, this paper aimed to discuss the performance of the Special Education teacher in the educational context of the Federal Institutes. As specific objectives, it was pointed out: to analyze normative documents that dealt with the performance of this teacher in Technical and Technology-focused High School and reflect on the performance of the Special Education teacher, in order to draw a parallel between a case study and the existing normative documents. It is a documentary research, with a qualitative approach. The normative documents referring to the role of Special Education were raised and reports were analyzed that portrayed the performance of a Special Education teacher on one of the campuses of the Federal Institute of Bahia, Brazil.
