ABSTRACT. The aim is to constitute Rural Schools that have as guidelines the principles of Rural Education, in others words, guidelines which are articulated with the struggles and lifestyles of the field, being a construction that requires interdisciplinarity. Therefore, it’s a possible space for contributions of Social Occupational Therapy (OT), considering that its actions aimed on the deconstruction of the educational system contradictions. In order to investigate the possibilities of professional performance at the Rural Schools, it was carried out a reflexive critical study. The OT will strengthen the process of Rural Education, ensuring the access of people from the field to their social rights, specialty educational rights, articulating occupational therapy actions to help promoting in rural school environments an institution that is focused on the social needs of the farmers who don´t represent any kind of institutional oppression. Some actions may be: the construction of activities, dynamics and projects, constituting collective or group spaces; natural and territorial accompaniments; articulation of social resources; and the boosting of network services. Therefore, this actuation has possibilities that may contribute to the institutionalization of this service, truly articulated with peasant demands and their culture.  Keywords: Rural Education, Rural Schools, Social Occupational Therapy.
