Abstract

In 2.008, the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities was internalized in the Brazilian Law, with
equivalence of constitutional amendment. That Convention introduced, with constitutional stature, a new concept
of people with disabilities, social, related to environmental barriers, and not only strictly medical feature, as
previously existed in the Brazilian legal system, under a regulatory decree. However, the Judiciary, so far, did
not try to revisit the issue in accordance with the new constitutional reality established, using outdated concept
and terminology, instead of inclusion.
