This article comes from a qualitative study entitled A path under construction: perceptions and extent of domiciliary advisories as a part of the community based rehabilitation, the experience in Bogotá. It shows the progress reached by these actions on people in situation of disability, developed by the Local Secretary of Health in the twenty localities of Bogotá in the two thousand five year. The information for the investigation is part of in-depth interviews and discussion groups with people in situation of disability, attendants and professionals that develop the strategy of community based rehabilitation. The voices of these three parties bear witness to understand the representation of disability to be dependent and excluded. According to the representation of normaly stated by modernity, normal subjects assume their relation with disability as a possibility to exert charity rather than to acknowledge a right. Contrary to it, people with disability have a social representation of themselves as normal subjects in the extent of their capacities and potentialities.
