We analyze the support and attention given to students with disabilities in Higher Education Institutions. This support has been included both, in the context of European Higher Education Area and in the Spanish legislative framework, in order to ensure equal opportunities, accessibility and inclusion of all students. Similar studies focused on analyzing support services for students with disabilities on Spanish universities have been considered in order to contextualize the study.
The research methodology is based in cases of the support services or units in charge of students with disabilities at the universities of the region of Castilla & Leon (Spain). The main objective of this study is to analyze the performance of support services or units responsible for students with disabilities at universities of Castilla & Leon. Data have been collected through documentary analysis of universities’ institutional websites and a questionnaire targeted to managers or technicians in charge of these services. Results show that Castilla & Leon universities support services for students with disabilities have made an effort to promote inclusion procedures of students with disabilities in different university environments. However, a better managing and coordination of these services is needed.
