Executive functions are a set of cognitive skills that allow us to regulate our thoughts, emotions, and actions. These skills are involved in a diversity of conditions necessary for the functional development of students with intellectual disabilities. Objective: Provide current perspectives on the teaching of executive functions and school intervention in the context of intellectual disability. Method: Integrative literature review. Results: It was verified that intellectual disability has a degree of impairment of the executive functioning, leading both researchers and education professionals to develop strategies for the teaching of cognitive abilities aiming at enhancing the social role, participation and social responsibility of this public in order to enable them to make their choices of life making them capable of exercising their social inclusion and citizenship. Conclusion: This knowledge has implications for educational practice and research and can be useful for professionals who work with students with intellectual disabilities, contributing to a greater knowledge about executive functions and their implications
