This study aimed to analyze the implementation of assistive technology (AT) resources for a student with Cerebral Palsy (CP) in the common class and your applicability in a universal character. The research method used followed the principles of the qualitative approach, based on the collaborative research model, whose participants were a common class teacher of early childhood education, an educational agent responsible for accompanying the student with cerebral palsy in the common class, a regularly enrolled student with cerebral palsy and the other students in the class. The data collection took place in the common classroom of a kindergarten class and a protocol was applied for systematic observation by means of filming the implementation/intervention of AT resources. The data obtained showed that the resources could be used to meet the educational needs of the student with CP, as well as contributed to better participation of other students. It was concluded that some AT resources gained the character of universalization of the access during the realization of the activities favoring the participation of all.
