Outreach in Brazilian Higher Education is the activity that promotes interaction between higher education institutions and other sectors of society, through the production and application of knowledge, in permanent articulation with teaching and research. In this sense, over the years, numerous projects have been developed, including those aimed at people with disabilities. This article proposes to identify them based on publications in scientific journals of outreach in Brazil, to visualize which projects on the theme “People with disabilities” were developed and published in scientific publications from January 2012 to June 2021. retrieved 82 articles that made up the final research corpus of the study. The result showed that outreachprojects promote actions more focused on sensory impairment (visual and auditory), disabilities in general (which encompass different types of disabilities), physical disabilities and training of professionals who work with People with Disabilities (PwDs). Intellectual deficiencies are less attended to, and, therefore, it is understood that this is a gap to be explored, in future projects, based on outreachactions.
