This research aimed to analyze the performance of the school psychologist with teachers in relation to Inclusive Education. The methodology used was qualitative of the exploratory-descriptive type. The participants were ten school psychologists who worked in private educational institutions. The instrument of data collection was a semi-structured interview script. The data analysis procedure used was content analysis. The results could be divided into three categories: inclusive demands addressed to the school psychologist; activities developed by the school psychologist together with teachers; and results of the performance of the school psychologist with the teachers. The results evidenced the existence of inclusive behavior, academic and family management demands directed by the teacher to the school psychologist; the development of professional practices of both resolutive and preventive nature by the school psychologist; and the performance of the school psychologist along with teachers regarding Inclusive Education was perceived as beneficial, especially in relation to aspects of student evolution, attitudinal changes of teachers and reduction of demands addressed to the School Psychology Service.
