This research investigated about the professional strengths and weaknesses of elementary teachers from a school in southern Chile to support their students with intellectual disabilities. We used an instrumental case study from semi-structured interviews and focus groups. The results show that teachers believe their strengths are linked to personal nature and self-learning of technical and pedagogical aspects. The weaknesses are associated with the lack of training and professional update regarding disability condition of their students and lack of time to design a contextualized teaching.
