The study aimed to verify how the texture of a pedagogic resource influenced the time individuals with cerebral palsy took fitting the correct piece in a puzzle. Six students with spastic type sequelae between the ages of 7 years and 8 months and 28 years and 1 month participated in the study The participants were expected to hold the puzzle piece and take it to the previously marked spot where it fit, and then take it back to its original position. The object was randomly presented in three textures: smooth, intermediate and rough. The data collected was filmed and later processed using the Kavideo program which enabled the researchers to calculate the time spent in the task and the index of correct responses. The study of normality distribution was conducted and verified using the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test for normality (KS Tests) and fitting movements were compared for smooth, intermediate and rough textures through variance analysis of repeated measures. For all tests a 5% rejection probability rate was adopted as a significant level for the normality hypothesis. The results of the variance analysis of repeated measures test showed that there was no statistical significance for the variables studied with the resource presented in the three textures. However, descriptive statistics data showed that less time was spent fitting the piece that had smooth texture during task performance and it also determined better performance related to the path of movement.
