Abstract

artículo es analizar algunas barreras que enfrentan los estudiantes con discapacidad en la educación superior.El trabajo se deriva de una investigación desarrollada en dos instituciones: la Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México y la Universidad Juárez Autónoma de Tabasco.El método fue el estudio de caso, con entrevistas en profundidad a estudiantes con discapacidad y revisión de documentos institucionales e información estadística sobre esta población.Los resultados mostraron que los alumnos enfrentan barreras estructurales, como la realización de los trámites institucionales y la dificultad para que los profesores ajusten los contenidos y las actividades de enseñanza; ambientales, como la poca accesibilidad a las instalaciones institucionales y al material bibliográfico; y actitudinales, como la escasa sensibilización de los profesores, del personal administrativo y de sus compañeros.La conclusión apunta a la necesidad de cambiar las culturas, las políticas y las prácticas institucionales a través de estrategias integrales que permitan ampliar las oportunidades educativas de estos estudiantes.The objective of this paper is to analyze the barriers faced by students with disabilities in higher education.This paper is part of a research carried out in two institutions: The National Autonomous University of Mexico and the Juarez Autonomous University of Tabasco.It was a case study research and, as part of it, we interviewed a group of students with disabilities and, at the same time, analyzed institutional policies on inclusion and statistical data.Results showed that students face structural barriers, for example, difficulties to complete institutional procedures and to adjust syllabus contents and learning activities; environmental barriers, such as the lack of accessibility to institutional facilities and to specialized literature; and attitudinal barriers, for instance, the unawareness of teachers, administrative staff and classmates.We conclude that it is necessary to change cultures, policies and institutional practices, through comprehensive strategies in order to increase educational opportunities for these students.
