This research is a case study, of a qualitative, explanatory and descriptive nature. The objective was to know the possible effects of attitudinal barriers on the coexistence, permanence, learning and success of students with disabilities, based on the perception of different actors with and without disabilities on an IFG campus. With a phenomenological approach, it was developed through a combination of methods and an instrument for producing information, based on systemic analysis, considering the nuclei, process, person, context and time defined in the bioecological model. 03 students with disabilities and/or SEN, 06 students without disabilities, 02 teachers, 02 administrative technicians and 02 managers participated in the semi-structured interviews. The research was submitted to the Research Ethics Committee in Human and Social Sciences and to the Research Ethics Committee of the Instituto Federal de Goiás – IFG. The presence of effects of attitudinal barriers was identified in the reported perceptions of situations involving jokes, exclusion from groups, prejudiced views, considering the person as incapable, feelings of pity, among other limiting events for students' learning, permanence and coexistence with deficiency. Suggestions were made for actions such as holding lectures and mini-courses to raise awareness about inclusion that could be included in the students' workload, activities that could give more visibility to the Center for Assistance to People with Specific Needs. A conclusive report for the NAPNE was prepared as a Technical Product, with information on the impacts of attitudinal barriers in the school life of students with disabilities and suggestions for minimizing them.
