The research was cross-sectional, quantitative, using a sociodemographic questionnaire and the Questionnaire of Attitudes towards Sexuality of people with mental and / or physical disabilities adapted from Tugut et al (2016).

The results showed more positive attitudes towards sexuality of people with physical disabilities in 96% than towards people with intellectual disabilities in 75%. Regarding the level of contact with a person with a disability, 71% reported knowing someone close to them in this condition, which could sensitize the participants.
