Summary
The World Report on People with disabilities (PwD) reports that 15% of the population has some type of disability[1]. The word disability presents greater visibility in society, the fruit of long fights for public policies that ensure the rights of PwD. It can be mention, among these, the conditions to understand the basic needs, such as employment, leisure, health, education, transport, accessibility, and housing. The society's acceptance and inclusion of people with disabilities is influenced by the prospect, as this is understood[3]. This understanding is one of the factors that interfere in the public laws and policies established for this social group[4].
