Abstract

By means of a bibliographical study and in depth investigation (which has given people a chance for expression in regards to labor inclusion, whether they are Law supervisors, public agents, renowned consultants or workers with intellectual disability), it has been certain that the attitude barriers are responsible for the low numbers in hiring people who are intellectually disabled. From this point on, this research shall deal with relevant considerations regarding the need for the law interpretation in accordance with the social inclusion paradigm. Such principles have been brought to the Brazilian juridical system by the United Nations´ Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities and represent a juridical means able to soften the existing problems, bringing to those employees with disabilities their due dignity.
