Two paradigms are used to define disability. On the one hand, the biological paradigm, which attends to a person's deficiencies and difficulties. And, on the other hand, the social, which does not treat disability as a pathology, but rather places the focus of interest on the deficient tools that society has to consider the capabilities of everyone. This article analyzes the scientific production on disability and social work, using bibliometric techniques and algorithms for the detection of communities, taking into account the current state of research worldwide. This analysis offers a holistic view of the characteristics of the work carried out in the world on this subject.
