Ensuring access and university success for students with disabilities: building inclusive regimes

Abstract

The number of students with disabilities enrolled in university pathways is clearly growing. Recent ministerial measures not only urge universities to provide authentic and accessible responses and mediations, but in fact call into question a series of interventions that, in an ecological way, involve the entire community. The contribution starting from a synthesis of national and international research on the reasons for the university success of these students proposes an analysis of systematic actions that call for the activation of a community capable of accompanying this transition, coordinating and integrating different actors, devices and practices. In particular, the emphasis is on the role that the Individual Plan can play as an inclusive instrument to increase the number of opportunities in the life project in terms of personal, social and professional resources.
