The aim of this paper is to check through the audiovisual media as people with disabilities are recognized. Thus we seek to answer, with a few decades of inclusive education in Brazil: there is still prejudice or stigma on the embodiment of those with disabilities? The methodology is netnography to be a survey conducted in virtual environments. The data collection will be through visualization and selection of YouTube videos that involves the theme stigma and social identity. In order to achieve this aim it has used descriptors such as: handicapped people, visual impaired people, physical impaired people, mental impaired people, intellectual impaired people, deaf person, people with special needs, “mongoloide”, mentally retard, blind people, deaf (sick joke). As a result, we highlight: the representation in media is mocked, disrespectful, and consider those people as irresponsible, heedless, nonstandard, not wise, aggressive, frivolous, amongst others.

Keywords : Special Education; Stigma; Social Identity; Difference.
