Around 15% of the world population is disabled, figures that are increasing due to the increase in chronic non-communicable diseases, aging, accidents and violence, additionally, it is considered that at some point in life everyone we will present some type of disability; this concept has changed throughout history with various models, however currently, under the theoretical framework of the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF), disability is understood not only as anatomical alterations and/or physiological, but as the limitation in the performance of activities and the restriction in participation, for which various contextual factors interact. Disability is related to an increase in vulnerability, which includes access to education, which is a basis for personal and social development, also associated with an improvement in the quality of life and the participation of people with disabilities.
