Abstract

This paper analyzes the historical and social construction of the concept of disability,discussing the implications of the terminology "Person with Disability" (PCD) within thecontemporary legal and social context. For this purpose, the research examines thehistorical trajectory of the term, based on Stiker's (2019) theoretical framework,considering the evolution of social conceptions and theoretical models biomedical,social, human rights, and biopsychosocial. It also explores the InternationalConvention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (2006), focusing on itsformulation process and impact on the redefinition of the concept. The study concludesthat, despite progress in inclusion and human rights, the terminology still carrieslimitations linked to the medical paradigm and the notion of disability as a biologicalattribute. Thus, it reflects on the need for a broader and more contextualizedunderstanding to overcome stigmas and effectively promote inclusion
