This article is divided in two parts, in the first moment it discusses the historical-normative aspects of the special education in Brazil from the first initiatives of institutionalization implemented in the imperial period until the present day. In the second moment it maps, by means of a survey and the exploitation of the data extracted from the school census, INEP, from 1998 to 2016, the total enrollment in special education in specialized schools and special classes, by stages and teaching modality. The research can be classified as exploratory type whose main purpose is to provide an overview of the scenario of special education in Brazil. The “frontiers” of a public policy are always susceptible of being questioned, through a constant process of redefining the limits of political fields and the historical context of each epoch, as Muller and Surel (2001) warn us. Thus, for the 21st century, care for people with disabilities is undertaken on the basis of the new so-called inclusive model whose idea is that it is not the disabled person who must adapt to the school, but the school institutions that must be capable to offer conditions of access and permanence for all.
