    Prejudice and social stigma toward ¡individuals with moderate disabilities persist, limiting their opportunities and hindering their transition to adulthood. These barriers negatively impact access to education, employment, and social participation, perpetuating cycles of exclusion and dependence. This study aims to analyze the relationship between social stigma and the transition to adulthood for individuals with moderate disabilities, emphasizing the challenges faced in achieving autonomy and inclusion. Families and caregivers play a crucial role; however, their overprotective attitudes can unintentionally reinforce stigma and limit independence. The research follows a qualitative, descriptive methodology, involving 11 participants with moderate intellectual and physical disabilities and their caregivers, part of the Home and Community Care Unit in Baños de Agua Santa. Data was collected through semi-structured interviews and life stories, providing a comprehensive understanding of the participants' lived experiences. Results indicate that social stigma originates from entrenched stereotypes, insufficient institutional support, and a lack of societal awareness, which collectively hinder inclusion and self-determination. Psychological consequences, such as low self-esteem and social 1solation, further exacerbate these 1Ssues. The study concludes by proposing strategies for inclusive public policies, educational initiatives, and community-based programs to reduce stigma and foster the full societal integration of ¡individuals with moderate disabilities. These measures aim to promote equal opportunities, independence, and active participation in society.

    The empowerment of people with disabilities in the field of sports is essential for their full integration into society and their physical and emotional well-being. This research focuses on analyzing the level of empowerment of athletes with disabilities in the Paralympic Committee of Ecuador - Tungurahua, identifying the barriers they face and the factors that influence their participation in sports activities. The general objective is to analyze the level of empowerment of people with disabilities in sports areas, in order to identify the conditions and factors that favor or limit their inclusion in this context. Methodology, this research adopted a mixed approach, combining quantitative and qualitative methods to provide a broader understanding of the phenomenon. Simultaneous sampling was used, integrating probabilistic and nonprobabilistic methods to collect and analyze data in a comprehensive manner. The study is descriptive and the analytical-synthetic method was used. The study population consisted of 24 athletes from the Paralympic Committee of Ecuador - Tungurahua (14 men and 10 women), and the data were obtained from the official list maintained by the Secretariat. The results show that the empowerment of athletes with disabilities is closely related to accessibility to sports facilities, the support received by the family, society and institutions. Despite advances in inclusion, significant barriers persist, such as lack of accessible infrastructure, low awareness among coaches and peers, and emotional difficulties such as low self-esteem. This affects the full integration of people with disabilities in sport. The research concludes that there are several barriers that limit the empowerment of people with disabilities in sports, such as accessibility difficulties, lack of adapted categories and emotional barriers. In addition, sociodemographic factors such as age, gender and type of disability influence sporting needs and preferences. It is essential to develop policies, inclusive sports programs, ensure a supportive family and social environment, improve available resources to facilitate the active participation of people with disabilities, promoting their empowerment and overall well-being.
