Even supported by laws that mediate the inclusion of diversity, the people with disabilities still have difficulty to access the job market, which is often justified by their low level of qualification or hindered by policies adopted by the companies. This research investigated the people with disabilities, the professionals of Human Resources and the professionals of Work Safety Departments of two companies to evaluate how the inclusion of people with disabilities is carried out by the organizations through training and development, and the people’s with disabilities adaptation on the job, considering that it is been 23 years of the approval of Quota Law in Brazil. The results show that the Quota Law and the type of disability still influence the hiring process. The training and development programs adopted do not use methodological strategies or assistive technologies to ensure equal opportunities for people with disabilities. On-the-job trainings are preferably performed. Not all respondents recognize the professional qualification as fundamental in the hiring process, mainly because people with disabilities are eminently hired for operational functions. On the other hand, the majority of people with disabilities feel valued and satisfied in their work. The environment adaptations and the use of assistive technologies were recognized as important for the performance of this group.
