What the paper says

The integration of individuals with disabilities and special educational needs into higher education represents a complex and multifaceted global challenge that demands comprehensive solutions. This research provides an analysis of university students' perceptions regarding their inclusion within academic environments, examining crucial aspects including physical accessibility measures, curricular adaptation strategies, and the quality of teaching support received. Our findings reveal that, despite notable progress in educational inclusion initiatives, substantial barriers continue to persist, particularly in the realms of infrastructure development and faculty preparedness. Through extensive analysis, we identify key areas requiring reinforcement to ensure an equitable and inclusive university experience. Based on these insights, we present detailed recommendations designed to assist higher education institutions in creating more accessible environments that effectively address the diverse needs of students with disabilities.
