Abstract

Research objective: The study aimed to conduct a literature review on the accessibility barriers suffered by People with Disabilities (PwD) in higher education.

Theoretical framework: The articles were analyzed in the light of the Brazilian Inclusion Law No. 13,146/2015 to categorize their accessibility barriers (Urbanistic; Architectural; in Transport; in Communications and Information; Attitudinal; and Technological).

Methodology: The methodology used was the lexical analysis applied to the Descending Hierarchical Classification, associated with Similitude Analysis and Word Cloud of the publications of the SciELO Citation Index, SciELO Brazil collection, indexed in the Web of Science database from 2002 to 2019, being analyzed 45 scientific studies.

Results: The results demonstrate the existence of two classes as a trend for publications in the area, the first being directed to higher education in general and the other to Federal Institutes and Universities. Also, there is a direction for conducting studies for visual and auditory PwD, and the main limitation evidenced in the literature is the Communication and Information Barrier.

Originality:The present study is original for not having been found any other scientific work that carried out a Systematic Meta-Review of Literature of publications in Brazilian periodicals using class analysis performed by a qualitative analysis system for the present theme.

Theoretical and Practical Contributions: It is noteworthy that normally the studies that use the Barriers in Communications and Information as one of the variables in their studies also have as indicators of Technological Barriers. The main public policy evidenced for higher education in the country is the Federal Government's Include Program.
