This paper discusses the paths of disabled students, by means of academic production at special education and oral documentation derived from an investigation and educational

action involving three research groups from three Brazilian federal universities. The study has a qualitative approach, and the analyses were organized in three main themes treated as emerging dimensions to consider the analysis of today's educational policies: 1) school path of the disabled person and the relationship with the institutional space; 2) individuals that defy inclusive education - students with mental/intellectual disabilities and youths and adults with disabilities; 3) interpretation paths of the special education policy in everyday life. The study identifies as a central challenge of the special education policy, in the inclusive education perspective, the promotion of school inclusion as an action of everyday self-management, which requires persistent planning and investment over time, favouring the construction of school paths for students with disabilities, and accommodating the need to propose a collective environment that welcomes the student in his/her individuality and entirety, regardless of his/her age or kind of disability.

Keywords : special education; disabled student; school inclusion..
