The present study stems from a master’s research on how assistive technology (AT), understood as support tools that also assist people with disabilities (PWD) in the performance of their work tasks, can be disseminated and better used in a Federal Institution of Higher Education. Therefore, it had as general objective to analyze how these resources allow the permanence of disabled employees in the work environment of the institution selected for this study. The methodology used to achieve the objectives outlined is qualitative. The data collection procedures used correspond to semi-structured interviews with the institution's servers that fall under the PWD category. The data collected were analyzed through Content Analysis, which by deductive inference will verify that a policy of insertion in the market without a permanence policy is sufficient to guarantee access to the rights of the PWD and determine how technology can influence and improve this policy of permanence. The results indicate that there is an ignorance of the PWD regarding the available AT resources, as well as an institutional disregard for their disabled servers.
