The inclusive perspective has broadened discussions about the education of the target audience of Special Education, related to the efectiveness of teaching, the use of resources, planning and pedagogical practices. Studies on cerebral palsy tend to focus on the clinical perspective, rehabilitation and care, distancing themselves from school activities. Thus, this study aimed to characterize productions about the schooling of students with cerebral palsy. For this, a systematic literature review was carried out in the Scientific Electronic Library Online (SciELO), in the Journal database of the Coordination for the Improvement of Higher Education Personnel (CAPES), and in the Revista Educação Especial [Special Education Journal], from 2000 to 2020. Thirty-one articles were selected according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria, categorized as Accessibility, Motor Development, Assistive Technology, Alternative Communication, School Inclusion, and Teaching. The results indicate that the national school context described in the studies is unprepared to meet the specificities of students with cerebral palsy, considering discussions on initial training and professional staf, physical and pedagogical resources ofered, which requires greater production of theoretical and practical knowledge in the country that responds to the guarantee of quality education to this student.
