Although people with disabilities account for almost 15% of the world's population and suffer from social exclusion, research on discourse of disability is scarce. This text presents the results of a focus group research with mothers of children with and without disabilities. From a critical perspective, we observed recurrence in constructions about people with disabilities that reproduce negative evaluations, dependence, and health condition as distinctive elements. Such discourse hinders social inclusion of this population.
