Abstract

Disability is defined according to A. Martinez et al. as "The impairment or limitation of any condition, whether physical or metal, that a person possesses, which directly intervenes in the normal performance of any activity" (2015). However, although it is a term that has a concrete definition, it is still in constant evolution due to the daily participation between people with disabilities and their environment. Equality and inclusion of people with disabilities has perceived several changes compared to the premises that have been handled for several decades, mainly in the field of education, through the inclusion of people with disabilities in regular educational centers (R. A. Martinez, 2015). The importance of conducting this research is the elaboration of a cognitive-behavioral protocol that allows generating an environment conducive to egalitarian education. According to Sánchez, et. al, describes that "A protocol, in general terms, is defined as a agreement between professional experts in a certain subject and in which the activities to be performed before a certain task have been qualified" (2009). Therefore, the development of a protocol of this magnitude is necessary.
