The research was carried out as part of the Bachelor of Psychology at Corporación Universitaria Minuto de Dios-Uniminuto, main campus. The purpose was to understand the conditions of psychosocial possibilities present in the development of the educational process of a psychology student with motor disease of athetosic cerebral origin. In this investigation, the student fulfilled a double role as both the subject of the case study and the research assistant. The methodology of the research included the autobiographical reconstruction of the educational experience in higher education and interviewing important actors in the experience (direct family, classmates, teachers, and administrative staff). In the analysis, based on Foucault (2007) and Courtine (2006), it was established that the discursive practices that uphold the social relationships with people with disabilities include looking at them as though they were monsters, giving them a look of compassion or an empty gaze of subjectivity. From Foucault's perspective of discourse analysis, three conditions of possibility were identified, such as exercises of resistance to said discursive practices and, at the same time, keys to develop better education processes for diversity: (a) dissolving the correlation between cerebral palsy and cognitive disability, (b) questioning specialized know-how about disability, and (c) overcome the fear of establishing a relationship with diverse bodies.

Palabras clave : inclusion; physical disabilities; special needs students; discourse analysis; educationally disadvantaged.
