The following article search for presenting the concept of Universal Design for Learning (UDL) and  analyzes the researches performed in Brazil about the theme, and how they contribute to School Inclusion process of special education targeting students (SETS). A survey was made at the Brazilian Digital Library of Theses and Dissertations (BDTD) and at Coordination of Superior Level Staff Improvement (CAPES) Thesis and Dissertations Digital Library using as descriptor “Desenho Universal para Aprendizagem” (Universal Design for Learning), without time restriction. Nine researches were found, two of them were theses and seven were dissertations, from five different areas, two were from the graduate program in Science Teaching; two from Education; two of Teaching in Basic Education; two in Special Education and one in Design. The results show that there is a gap regarding studies on universal design applied to education aiming school inclusion of SETS. The researches approached distant themes, and there is no common theoretical framework, or any research that may be used as action reference. Although there are few researches that demonstrates the effectiveness of UDL to assist school inclusion of SETS, it is possible to conclude that there is potential for this.
