Abstract

This documentary investigation reveals Sen Amartya's contributions to human development in disability. In this proposal it is assumed that comprehensive well-being and quality of life constitute elements on which development is based and that must be promoted in correspondence with the full exercise of individual and collective freedoms, that are understood as those responsible for making the growth of human supra-complexity operational. This supposes, the expansion of opportunities and the free development of personal capacities, as requirements to dimension human dignity. This requires the reduction of the effects of inequality and the maximization of educational and training opportunities, which allow people with disabilities to actively, autonomously and competitively insert themselves in the occupational-labor scenario of their preference and without any limitation. It is concluded, the integral human development must sustain its efforts in guaranteeing the diversification of growth opportunities that allow the individual to fulfill the purposes inherent to their life project, in such a way that they achieve the full development of their personality and the scope of their self-realization.
