Abstract

Educating mentally retarded students is a priority task in the Cuban educational system. Communication and labor training are essential components of such a formative process for their key function in personal development and social and labor insertion. Consequently, the study herein described aims at explaining the role of communication in labor education. Theoretical methods,such as analysis and synthesis, induction and deduction, were used, as well as the empirical method of documents analysis. The main finding is precisely the theoretical framework that highlights the education of mentally retarded.
