Inclusion is the central theme of world debates, as it is understood as a crucial factor

integrationist and exclusionary ideas; advances in public policies attempt to minimize
this context. The occupational therapist is an important part of the present context,

analyze the insertion of occupational therapy in inclusive education through its
intervention practices. The specifics are: To identify the methodological paths used
by occupational therapists in inclusive practice and to categorize the production of
knowledge about the occupational therapist in educational inclusion. The research is
bibliographical based on the state of the art, which allows us to glimpse how the
knowledge of the area has really constituted. The analysis of content allows, in
addition to interpreting minutiae of the text, to categorize and to understand the work,
which was done from the organization of the information in the table. In all sixty-nine
(69) works were analyzed, among them articles of magazines, chapters and books
and works in scientific events. The results evidenced a great repertoire of practices
and subjects contemplated by the profession within the educational field, thus
showing, several possibilities of insertion of the profession within this area of
intervention, which is relatively new to it. It is concluded that the importance of
