This paper aims at pointing out theoretic-methodological presumptions targeted to an ethical professional and political performance regarding the assurance of sexual and reproductive rights of persons with disability. To that end, in light of the social model of disability, the main barriers that persons with disability have faced concerning the dimension of sexuality will be characterized first. Next, the main progresses in the legislation targeted to assure sexual and reproductive rights will be identified from the approval of the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disability. Finally, some challenges to psychology for the rupture of an integrative practice and anchored on biomedical and sexual rehabilitation model will be presented that are increasingly closer to the social model of disability as well as some guiding presuppositions of this professional performance.
