This scientific article presents a historical perspective on the issue of work, autonomy and the identification of human beings over the years when carrying out their activities, in view of the considerable changes with regard to the inclusion of people with disabilities (PwDs) in the labor market and in the way Organizational and Work Psychology (POT) has acted to change a scenario of exclusion, prejudice and rooted stigmas in relation to the physical, mental and psychological capacities of people with disabilities. The research carried out is qualitative and uses Psychology as a science to permeate the study about the awareness regarding the inclusion of PwDs in response to a social reflex and pre-established concepts that make it difficult to hire these minorities.
