Resumo

Disabilities are more related to a social context than to medical conditions. However, the lack of attention to the subject and social support negatively impacts the lives of people with disabilities and their relatives as well. In an exploratory study, it was perceived a trend towards the depreciation regarding this theme, instead of the construction of a support network. In light of these facts, this paper analyzed postings related to mental, physical and intellectual disabilities to identify the main topics discussed and the circumstances of use.
