FACIN, ISABELLA DE OLIVEIRA; AMARAL, GABRIEL FILIPE DUARTE  e  LEITE, LUCIA PEREIRA. Positions of brazilian students from public universities on normative concepts related to disability.

We sought to investigate the circulating concept of disability among university students, since its analysis is fundamental for the construction of less exclusionary social spheres, through an online form containing a sociodemographic questionnaire and the Escala Intercultural de Concepções de Deficiência – EICD (Intercultural Scale of Conceptions of Disability) to students from Brazilian public universities from the five regions of the country. 1568 responses were obtained, and the data were treated statistically. In the universe researched, groups show a greater or lesser tendency to agree with statements from the Social and Biological conceptions, and disagree with those from the Metaphysical conception. The findings show indications for Psychology’s action with future professionals, contributing to a more critical analysis of disability, promoting the recognition of human diversity and breaking with normative standards that conceive different bodies as dysfunctional or incapable, whether due to behavioral, sensory or physical characteristics.
