Studies on syntactic communication has revealed that both the verbal repertoire as non-verbal produce significant changes in social interaction, and therefore human development. The talks, for example, has been seen as socially communicative modality required for building relationships in different contexts and cultures. However, this mode is not always the most available resource especially for those who have changes in their development. Given this, it is common through facial expressions, eye movement and / or wink of the intentional movements as point, people with disabilities try to seek compensation for ways to express their desires, thoughts and frustrations. In this sense, resources and alternative communication strategies have been used as useful tools for the individual to achieve greater social participation in the various contexts in which it presents itself. However, in the school environment literature has highlighted that the barriers of communication between teacher and student with disabilities can do harm in the process of teaching and learning. Therefore, this research aimed to analyze the teacher-student with cerebral palsy before and after the introduction of these tools. To this end, we carried out a qualitative study, the type of case study research with action. The main steps of this study were: no filming of the interactive features of alternative communication, training of teachers in school and filming of the episodes related to the alternative communication. The data were analyzed qualitatively, considering the four dimensions of human development bioecological model proposed by Bronfenbrenner (1998): Case, Person, Context and Time. Among the results of this research include: greater mutual engagement in the development of the episodes, with increase in the extent of communicative links, better perception of the teacher about the student's communication skills and tendency of educators to use these tools for teaching . From this, it was concluded that these resources boosted the interactions the teacher and the student with cerebral palsy, however its implementation in daily school life requires positive interdependence of various factors, among which the personal attributes generators and developmentally largest base of regular time using these tools.
