Resumen
For a long time, people with disabilities were excluded from social life and prevented from
performing different occupations. In the course of history, they were segregated, integrated
and were only included after the emergence of different social movements related to human
rights. Although inclusion policies have been proposed, legislation is still needed to ensure all
the real guarantees of opportunities for inclusion in different contexts. Therefore, there are
still difficulties to be overcome for the inclusion of everyone. In relation to the labor market,
people with disabilities may face difficulties in the process of admission, adaptation and
permanence in employment.The same is observed with regard to architectural and urban
accessibility, transportation, communication and information.The aim of this study was to
describe the process of admission and monitoring of employees with disabilities in public
institutions of higher education.Specifically, we sought to identify the demands and problems
related to the activities carried out by these servers, and describe the accessibility and types of
barriers that exist in a typical workday in the face-to-face and remote period established in the
Covid-19 pandemic.In Minas Gerais there are eleven public universities. All of them were
contacted and five became partners in this study.The federal public employee of these
institutions were sent an electronic invitation containing the formalization for participation
and the period for the videoconference. It was used for the online interviews a script with
open questions, the Brazil Economic Classification Criteria and the Canadian Occupational
Performance Measure. The interviews were recorded, transcribed and submitted to thematic
categorical content analysis.The results show a reduced number of employees with disabilities
in the institutions, reveal attitudinal, architectural and communication/information barriers, as
well as the accessibility of co-workers, and show flaws in the admission and monitoring
process of most employees with disabilities in the institutions. The set of information on the
subject can help universities improve the process of welcoming and adapting servers with
disabilities, as well as assisting in the development of strategies for the inclusion of everyone
in the university environment.
