Hi Marcelo-- It seems to me that the best way to have a person with a disability test an application for accessibility is to have them do typical tasks with it and see if they have difficulty. If you are asking how someone with a disability can evaluate an application for accessibility with respect to the WCAG checkpoints, then there will be the additional challenge of finding accessible tools for them to use--and even then, depending on the disability, they probably won't be able to test everything.
