Abstract

Facing the importance of social inclusion of child with special needs in their process of growth and
development, with this study we aimed to known how the woman/mother perceives the social inclusion of their child with
special needs which came along with the diagnosis of cerebral palsy. It’s an exploratory-descriptive research with a
qualitative approach. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews with mothers of children who attend an
institution that cares for children with special needs. Data analysis pointed out some difficulties regarding to the social
inclusion of a child in an environment larger than the family one, with emphasis on: mobility and integration in social
groups, such as school. We concluded that the main difficulties are related to public policies for access and inclusion; we
understand the nurse’s role as promoter of health, who has to encourage and encourage these families in recovering their
citizenship.
