The ethical dilemma is present in situations were two approaches are possible and defensible, generating doubts related to the choice options. On first sight Physiotherapy seams to have no familiarity with Sociology and Philosophy, areas that brings us closer to ethics discussions. Nevertheless, it is daily present to this professional. The objective of this study was verifying through a transversal study, the ethical dilemmas present in the professional practice of physiotherapists to build their relationship with disability children and their respective families. A survey study was done with physiotherapists enrolled in the Crefito-3, resident in Campinas, São Paulo State countryside. It was utilized a semi-structured questionnaire form with opened and closed questions, sent to 1,403 physiotherapists, being the main focus of the study those who currently attend children with physical and/or mental deficiencies. The results have pointed that in its majority, the physiotherapists do not recognize dilemmas or ethical questions in the attendance of such children. The low return of question forms can indicate low commitment of these professionals with the proposed theme or with participation in researches, the lack of habit to reflect about ethics and conflicting daily situations, its practical implications, as well as the repercussions that a research about the theme can have in future studies, its consequences to the professional category and quality of attendance.
