The contamination of a virus that causes severe respiratory syndromes and other symptoms is reshaping the world in many ways (BUFFA, 2020). Characterizing a scenario of uncertainties, COVID-19 has been causing unprecedented social, economic and political impacts that may still be felt in the coming years (ROGOFF, 2020). In education, restrictions are mainly reflected in the difficulty of accessing the internet, in attitudinal, communicational and technological barriers, causing serious harm to a significant layer of the most vulnerable population. (FREITAS; CABRAL, 2021; NETA; NASCIMENTO; FALCÃO, 2020). In this parcel, there are people with disabilities. Students with disabilities in Higher Education are occupying a rightful place, which is responsible for the development of critical thinking and with an important social role. Thus, this dissertation discusses the trajectory of conceptions of disability in society, its changes in nomenclature, the achievements of law through struggles, the legal framework of special education and the impacts of the pandemic on higher education. The objective of this work was to analyze the effects of the pandemic on the educational experience of students with disabilities (physical, visual, auditory and intellectual) in higher education at the Federal University of Espírito Santo. The research investigated a little explored phenomenon, classifying itself as qualitative, exploratory and descriptive. To collect data for this research, semi structured interviews and document analysis were used. The research subjects were six students with disabilities assisted by the accessibility center of the Federal University of Espírito Santo, and five members of the same accessibility center. The interviews took place in person and virtually, according to the participant's preference. The interviews were recorded and transcribed verbatim. In the analysis and treatment of data, content analysis was used, as proposed by Bardin (2011). In the document analysis, it was used as a corpus of analytical documents produced by the university. The study was tolerated and approved by the Ethics Committee in Research with Human Beings of the Institution. The results indicate that the students had their main source of integration withdrawn from society. They dealt with technological challenges and internet connections. They gave new meaning to their spaces (bedrooms and classrooms became an improvised classroom). Had conflicting relationships with teachers and they were supported by the accessibility nucleus. The nucleus was essential for staying and facing the pandemic. The actions followed, such as the non availability of material adapted or made available in advance, and the enabling attitude (which demeans the student because of the disability) is what most affects the teaching process, as this causes all other barriers to emerge: architectural, communicational, methodological, instrumental, programmatic, attitudinal and transport. Professors play a fundamental role in education, therefore, it is necessary to train them and encourage the involvement of the entire university to minimize barriers and promote accessibility and inclusion in higher education. The voice of the person with a disability is necessary, exposed as real extensive and need for change to reach accessibility. Thus, the main contribution of this research is to make people aware in the educational and social spheres so that they can create controls/documents based on accessibility and the real needs of people with disabilities.
