OCCUPATIONAL THERAPY AND INCLUSIVE EDUCATION
Abstract
Inclusive education seeks equality of opportunity for all and Occupational Therapy can contribute to this process through thedevelopment of occupational performance. In this regard, we attempted to analyze the Occupational Therapy contributions for
inclusive education through of the aspects related to occupational performance of the people with disabilities. Therefore, this study
was characterized as a review that included works of literature on inclusive education, occupational therapy and occupational
performance, giving prominence to the Canadian Occupational Performance Measure (COPM), which is based on the Guidelines
of Occupational Therapy Practice-Based Client. We selected yet, despite the lack of studies, articles published in the last decade in
English and Portuguese. It can be concluded that the COPM identifies the main activities problems and offer suggestions for improving
the performance and satisfaction of selected activities. The role of the occupational therapist with people with disabilities in inclusive
education can contribute significantly to the development of satisfactory occupational roles, promoting a competent occupational
performance favoring the discovery of new occupational opportunities.
