The role of physiotherapists in the inclusion of students with physical disabilities into regular education. Rev. Educ. Questão [online]. 2017, vol.55, n.45, pp.176-199.

The study had the goal of identifying the physiotherapist's performance in the school inclusion process for students with physical disabilities. It is a descriptive, cross-sectional research, with a quantitative approach. Forty seven physiotherapists who work in neuropediatrics in five rehabilitation centers in the city of João Pessoa, Paraíba took part in the survey. The results showed that the school context for students with physical disabilities is a field to be better explored by physical therapists. In order to do so, it is necessary to have an academic education more in line with the advancement of conceptions about disability and educational policies in a multiprofessional perspective, focusing on a greater participation and learning of people with physical disabilities in regular education.
