Abstract: In recent decades, Costa Rica has been creating laws that favor equality and equity in opportunities for people with disabilities, taking human rights as a starting point. One of the latest efforts in terms of legislation was the creation of Law n.° 9379, which has the objective of promoting and ensuring personal autonomy.
From this law arises the figure of the personal assistant which will be a support for people with disabilities, thus favoring the autonomy and independence of the population with disabilities.
This research seeks to build a technical profile that includes the skills, knowledge and ideal attitudes of the personnel who assist the person with disabilities, based on their identification, according to Law n.° 9379.
