Abstract

The study examines legal, institutional, and social measures to strengthen family participation in the inclusion of individuals with intellectual disabilities served by APAE Ji-Paraná. Grounded in Brazil’s Constitution and the Brazilian Inclusion Law, it emphasizes that legal guarantees only become effective through family empowerment. This qualitative research identified actions such as Family Councils, Family Schools, continuous legal education, and psychological support. It concludes that genuine inclusion requires ethical commitment, dialogue, and collaboration between the State, society, and families, turning legal rights into lived and transformative practices.
