Abstract

This research intends to contribute to understanding about the process of insertion of people with disability (PwDs) in the workplace. The main objective was to verify whether the managers have different ways of seeing people with disabilities, considering the type of disability. It was conducted a cross-sectional descriptive study, with a sample of 123 managers of PwDs, working in 14 companies located in Espírito Santo/Brazil. The results showed that managers see the PwD differently, depending on the type of disability. However, in qualitative analysis, the managers demonstrated the existence of similarities in the assessment of performance of these people.
