With the increase in the demand of students in the Public Network, there was a creation of the Specialized Educational Assistance (SEA), which was essential for the accomplishment of inclusion. The objective of the research was to analyze the profile of the professionals of the SEA of Recife Municipal Network, as well as their reports and needs in the process of inclusion of students with Cerebral Palsy (PC). The descriptive, cross-sectional and quantitative-qualitative study was carried out at the Professor Paulo Freire Teacher Training Center, in September 2016, with 144 SEA professionals, who participated in a training of the researchers on the PC. A semi-structured questionnaire was used for professional characterization of the participants, in addition to the field diary and audio recorder, to record speeches. As it turned out, most of the students appear in post-graduate education and have worked as SEAs for about 4 to 10 years. The themes that emerged in the speeches were: cause and clinical picture of the PC; How to deal with a child with PC dysfunction; differences between PC and other pathologies; demands of SEAs to serve this public. The results indicate the lack of knowledge and insecurity of SEA professionals in dealing with the population, which means that it is necessary to carry out health education and education in politics, which is indispensable for school inclusion and the quality of life of students with disabilities and educators.
