Resumen:
This research addresses the right to accessibility in the student selection process at the Federal Institute of Espírito Santo, with a focus on people with disabilities, highlighting its importance in promoting inclusion and equal opportunities in education. The study is situated within the theoretical framework of inclusive education, accessibility, and assistive technology. To achieve the proposed objectives, a case study was conducted using a qualitative approach, with data collected through a literature review and discussion circles with students with disabilities and administrative staff who were directly or indirectly involved in the stages of the selection process. The data were analyzed using the Content Analysis technique, as proposed by Bardin (2011). Among the main findings, it was identified that there is still a need to
broaden the understanding of the concept of accessibility, in all its dimensions, among the participants—particularly the students. The study also revealed that some barriers hinder candidates with disabilities from accessing the selection process autonomously and independently. As an intervention proposal, the creation of short videos using simple language and accessibility resources was suggested, aiming to complement and clarify the information provided in the public notices.
