Abstract
People with disabilities represent a population group that, because of the circumstances that render its interaction in society complicated, generates situations of conflict that make them a vulnerable group. The political and legal machinery of the Welfare State should adopt protective, intervention and inclusion strategies aimed at improving the quality of life and the presence of this group in the social fabric based on recognition, participation and inclusion. Mediation is presented as an element that enhances this set of initiatives or political and social responses for addressing the conflicts that might arise from situations of vulnerability of the persons with disabilities, providing a positive, reparative, inclusive and empowering view that ensures personal autonomy and also the respect for human rights.
