In order to strengthen the recognition of capabilities in people with disabilities in Envigado through participatory learning, a participatory action research was conducted through workshops. The data obtained were transcribed and analyzed using the ATLAS Ti Vs 8 software, where 10 categories consistent with human capabilities were formulated. 33 people with physical, hearing, visual, and cognitive disabilities residing in the municipality of Envigado participated. In general, it was difficult for the participants to identify and verbalize their capabilities, however, the only capability that did not emerge from their stories was bodily health, probably due to the underlying condition associated with their disability. The exercise allows us to conclude that for people with disabilities, developing and recognizing their capabilities continues to be a challenge, as they constantly face barriers and lack of opportunities from society.
