5. Conclusion:

Companies and society in general, must be generators of opportunities for these people
who need to be welcomed and participate in all citizen processes, in addition to knowing
the great benefits of employing a person with a disability, we must also be a reference and
continue to transform lives and social prejudices, demonstrating that disability is only a
word.
