the protagonism of persons with disabilities has characterized the school setting, the universities and the labor market, even though the country still has a long way ahead. One strategy to minimize reductionist views that take into account only what lacks in persons with disabilities are affirmative policies emerging in Brazil since the nineties. Brazilian legal provisions and supervision pressure the Human Resources (HR) departments of companies into incorporating projects of inclusion that enable hiring employees with disabilities. This paper presents part of one research with the purpose of recognizing representations of HR managers about the work of persons with disabilities. It is characterized as a case study (multi-case), conducted through observations and semi-structured interviews with seven HR managers from large Brazilian companies. Results reveal that development of prejudice towards persons with disabilities causes them to be perceived as responsible for the limitations that result from their condition, omitting factors from a social context that still does not commit to inclusion in all levels.
