Resumo:
This study seeks to reflect about inclusive education and the reflexes of the process of inclusion on the family. Education is a (constitutional) right of all. However, for persons with special needs education has been shown to be a challenge, beginning with the respect of acquired rights to the fulfillment of quality education. In this process the person with special needs does not suffer in isolation but the whole family structure is affected. The question put forth is how does the family react and involve itself in the process of school inclusion? Based on bibliographic research the quest is to understand the family in contemporaneity, inclusive education based on legal points, in order to, then, relate family involvement in inclusive education. A family with a person with special needs goes through daily challenges in society seeking acceptance as well as rights; education is one more space of this challenge.
