The autonomy and independence is a highly valued condition by the population with disability, because that means respect, dignity and a great sense of usefulness to them. This is observed by the great demand in technical assistance and access to the physical environment. In the three areas, urban, rural and indigenous, multiple disabilities are of greater prevalence. In the urban and rural area, visual and physical disabilities are of major incidence, and for the indigenous areas, visual, organs, systems and physical.
