This paper aims to contribute to reflections on ethical matters present in studies in Education concerning children with disabilities. The acknowledgement of the child as a social actor and of their condition as right-holders requires new ethical dilemmas and approaches to the educational research with this public. The literature review in this paper is based on the Sociology of Childhood approach and on literature that approaches the matters regarding ethics in research in the area of Social and Human Sciences. The investigation conducted in this paper relies on documental research, via which we analyzed theses and dissertations in Education, conducted within Graduate programs at public and private higher education institutions in the state of Rio Grande do Sul and defended between 2016 and 2021. The analysis showed how researchers approach ethics in research involving children with disabilities. We conclude the paper highlighting the importance of promoting the theme within educational research spaces via studies and discussions on how ethical standards may contribute to manage ethical dilemmas in research.
