This essay supports the conception that school is inserted in a society that corre­sponds to a historic and dialectic moviment in which there are many power relations. in this context of discussion, we attempt to express some thoughts about school inclusion directed more specifically to public politicies and to special educational practices in the neoliberal setting. This paper focuses on these iconic spots in the globalization of capitalist economy, which often stand out and many other times camouflage themselves when considering the constitution of the subject’s knowledge, especially when referring to individuals with mental disabilities in inclusion processes in school. in a system of marginalization caused by intense competition, deviation is seen as threatening, the impaired is not seen through their possibili­ties, but through their limits underlying organic deficit. upon these considerations, there are the pressures, tensions and contradictions that pervade the field of special education, when one considers the human being as a producer and a product of history. in this sense, it is nec­essary to widen perspectives and overcome the narrow interpretations about the inclusion in the neoliberal context, amplifying the angle of analysis of concrete social actions.
