Today's society is characterized by valorizing self-sufficient and autonomous people, to the extent that being a “working adult“ is a way of being legitimized and accepted. However, from disability studies, it is noted that these paradigms are constructed from an ableist perspective that assumes that all people have the same bodily, sensory and psychosocial functions. Imposed on people with disabilities, these expectations can lead to an erosion of what they conceive as their sense of personhood, which is constructed, in turn, from cultural notions of productivity and independence. Considering these premises, the present research aims to explore the construction of meanings about personhood and experiences in the working trajectories of people with motor disabilities. Specifically, I intend to analyze the courses of their work and health trajectories; the construction of narratives around their body and work expectations, and the resignification of their personhood in the framework of physical rehabilitation. In order to approach these processes, I use a phenomenological approach that situates the body as an active agent in the construction of experiences, and whose subjectivities can be interpreted through the analysis of narratives. Likewise, I consider that the embodied experience of disability has an impact on the construction of the sense of personhood. Finally, the methodology consists of the reconstruction of work and health trajectories of 8 adults with motor disabilities who are in the process of physical rehabilitation.
