Nowadays, there is a great deal of mobilisation to include people with disabilities in society, in other words, there is an effort to involve these people in a wide range of activities so that they can exercise their rights and duties and feel that they are an active part of social groups, regardless of their disability. In this context, there are laws that defend inclusion, whether at work, such as the quota law, or in public and private offices, such as the law that guarantees accessibility to all places, including free transport for people with disabilities or the purchase of tax-free cars. As far as inclusive education is concerned, significant steps have been taken so that people with disabilities can get to school without so many barriers, such as improving accessibility for wheelchair users by building ramps and adapted toilets, hiring interpreters of the Brazilian Sign Language (LIBRAS) for the deaf, and hiring and training chaperones for children with mental disabilities and cerebral palsy in mainstream school classrooms.
