This work aimed to make a clipping on the Educational Service Specializing in higher education, using as a base, theorists who deal with the implementation of the EEA, from the 1950s to the present. Also some successful experiences were presented, in relation to the implementation of programs for assistive technology and accessibility, which have contributed to the entry, stay and completion of higher education for people with special educational needs. From the foregoing, this study was retrospective, descriptive and documented about the experience of the implementation process of the ESA in a higher education institution. For this, we used records in field notebooks and written documents wich recorded the content of informal interviews, through the technique of conversation held with managers, directors, employees, teachers and students with and without disabilities of this institution. Participated in this work step, 238 people with 167 people identified as having a disability and 71 teachers, managers and directors. From this study, we present the possibility of developing several actions of teaching, research and extension, on university campuses, targeted to people with special educational needs, despite the many bureaucratic obstacles that still exist.
