Attitudinal barriers represent the subject of this article. These barriers are linked to prejudiced attitudes and discriminatory practices towards people with disabilities.

This article seeks to discuss attitudinal barriers that often manifest within schools during educational process towards children with disabilities, engaged in a regular classis of Elementary School. At first, bibliographic research was conducted. Afterwards, a preliminary field research was carried out following the guidelines recommended by Resolution 510/2016 of the National Health Council (CNS). The preliminary field research happened throughout conversations with three teachers who work directly within inclusive education and teach in different schools. After reading all gathered field data, five categories of analysis were revealed: conflict, criticism of the model, insecurity, financial and conceptual limitations, and lack of knowledge. These categories supported the data analysis. Inclusive education should be addressed as educational policy, in order to act in favor of generating more conscious citizens - in cultural, historical, political and social ways - as well for reassure ethical, aesthetic and political values established by the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.
