in this text we attempted to track the historical course in the production of articles by Sadao Omote over the three decades of his academic production. We referred to his Vitae registered on the Lattes platform, where he listed all of his published articles (41). After this exploratory overview, we performed a search that enabled us to find all of his texts, which we were able to achieve with the author's help, as he provided us with the missing texts. The next stage required us to carefully read each article three times, extracting the main concepts related to Special Education as a field of knowledge. The intersection of these elements constitutes the basis of this analysis, divided into three parts, namely: a) basic concepts Omote worked on in the field of Special Education; b) ideas and notes on the inclusion paradigm, with special attention given to aspects relating to the school environment, and; c) main references and themes discussed by the author. Our objective was to critically highlight the main issues Sadao Omote has worked on in the field of Special Education, with possibilities for a dialectical construction of an educational system that stands for quality in teaching, as he has advocated.
