For that realization, the research was based in the bibliographical study, using the searches in the educational documents of Education and Special Education, specialized books about high abilities, papers, dissertations and thesis. The results indicated that school systems still demand the presentation of the health report to identify the students with high abilities and register them at the school census, also the orientations, via SECADI/MEC, didn’t indicate the obligation of the health report to provide any student that is public of Special Education but just the pedagogical evaluation realized by the professionals from specialized rooms, as well as, it was resulted that the health report can be demanded in complementary character if necessary.
