Educational institutions seek to offer inclusive education to all students. However, accessibility is still not fully guaranteed to all individuals with special needs. The public has the right of proper education, but it still has to be remembered, considering the different environments that permeate their lives, including the top-level educational environments. In this paper, we investigate the institutional conditions offered by one of the 38 Federal Institutions that compose the Federal Network of Professional Education, science and technology. A Federal Institute was compared with the Universidade Federal Fluminense which already works with the issue of accessibility in their campuses. The results show that there is the goal of fitness on the four campuses of the Federal Institute. However, the completeness of care still distances itself from the provision of a truly inclusive education. The data from this work indicates a need for this institution to promote continuous adequacy in order to attend its public and it also infers that, possibly, this framework of inadequacy can be shared by other Federal Institutions.Downloads
