The care of people with disabilities in Mexican and Spanish universities

Abstract

Worldwide, the subject of inclusion in higher education has become more
important in recent years and has brought about actions for the full inclusion of
students. In this work the substantive and contextual aspects that are present in
Mexican and Spanish universities to the attention of students with disabilities are
analysed, considering the historical development axis of the process of inclusive
education in both countries and identifying similarities, differences, needs and
deficiencies to the attention of those students. Likewise the different programs
and actions that have to finally make some considerations to overcome some
factors that still persist and limit the effectiveness in dealing with diversity and
integration of the group of persons with disabilities will be analysed.
