Six physiotherapists from the city of Salvador-BA whose patients were cerebral palsy children, aged from 4 to 11 years, who frequented regular schools participated in the study. Semi-structured interviews were done, focusing the professionals vision of probable relations between physiotherapeutic rehabilitation and school inclusion of their patients. It was confirmed that school inclusion process has considerable positive influences on physiotherapeutic rehabilitation of cerebral palsy children. It was shown that physiotherapists consider school inclusion an important process and admit the benefits that regular school environment and the relationship with non-disabled children can bring for CP children.
