Images are important means for the teaching-learning process of Geography, as in addition to facilitating orientation and location, they help to develop students' spatial notions. Cartographic literacy favors the evolution of topological, projective and Euclidean relationships, as well as the recognition of the individual's place in geographic space. This dissertation presents a research that will be carried out with students, in adulthood, with intellectual disabilities from a public elementary school in Ceilândia, Federal District. The main objective of the study is to understand how the use of images in Geography classes improves the spatial notion and geographical reasoning of these students. It is a qualitative research, with participant observation and case study developed through cartographic literacy workshops divided into activities in stages.
