Abstract

Accessibility has been a concept built with contributions from different fields and disciplines. In our country, its use has been mainly promoted in the field of health. However, in recent years it has gained great prominence since the turn in the concept of disability, inaugurated by the social model of disability, and then with the International Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (ONU 2006, Argentina, 2008) and the enforceability of rights that can be carried out by this group. Accessibility, as a concept, also emerges in projects in the extension field, in university policies and activism. However, it is frequently subsumed to a technical factor and decontextualized from theoretical and sociopolitical debates. In this sense, the article proposes a conceptual journey from a critical and situated perspective, taking into account its background and complexity, and based on reflections from more than ten years of extension work experiences on the subject.
