The changes which occurred in the scope of capitalist production have set new perspectives and demands for the restructuring of both high school level and professional education that happened in the second half of the nineties. The concern with the insertion of the person with disability in the labor market is situated in the previously mentioned decade. From the Process of Professional Education and Work Placement (in Portuguese: Processo de Educação Profissional e Colocação no Trabalho - PECT), the APAES of Brazil aimed to further the occupational and therapeutic character that professionalization had until then. Thus, based on document analysis, the aim of this study is to demonstrate that the PECT, supported by the National Federation of APAES (FENAPES) and introduced in the dynamics of productive restructuring process, reflected, in a sense, the basic competencies and skills required from the worker with disability in the decade of 1990.
