In this sense, the study aimed to map the current rehabilitation practices performed in children with SCZ by physiotherapy and occupational therapy professionals in Brazil. Method: Cross-sectional study conducted through an online questionnaire addressed to professionals who assist children with SCZ. Subsequently, the data collected were analyzed using descriptive statistics. Results: One hundred and sixteen rehabilitation professionals (79 physiotherapists and 37 occupational therapists) participated in the study, most of whom were female, with more than 10 years of experience in treating children. In total, 57% reported using scientific evidence to guide their intervention. As for the type of treatment, Bobath was the intervention most cited by physical therapists (n = 22) and Sensory Integration (n = 9) by occupational therapists. Still, 66.4% of the professionals stated that they did not consider the ICF during the assessment and intervention of the children. Conclusion: The findings of this study suggest that knowledge translation and professional training strategies may be necessary to implement evidence-based practices to ensure improved quality of care for children with SCZ.
