The study of the socio-medical view of disability combined with transformative research consumer. Interviews were conducted in order to be heard mothers, brothers and Downs whenever possible. The interviews comprised three main elements: a brief narrative history of life of disabled people and their families; presentation and description of photographs selected by households, which included leisure experiences procedure called "family album"; and use of projective exercises to support access to information more difficult to share. The view that "the life of Down is a pleasure eternal" may be confronted by barriers reported by interviewees, mainly attitudinal so that leisure can be a more effective tool of social inclusion of people with Down syndrome and their families.
