CINTORA OSEGUERA, Karen Lizette; VARGAS GARDUNO, María de Lourdes  and  GONZALEZ BETANZOS, Fabiola. Challenges of the Universidad Michoacana de San Nicolás de Hidalgo to students with disabilities. Sinéctica [online]. 2019, n.53.  Epub Aug 28, 2020. ISSN 2007-7033.  https://doi.org/10.31391/s2007-7033(2019)0053-006.

The objective of the project that gave rise to the article was to make visible and recover the voices of students with disabilities, as well as to train tutors specialized in supporting this sector of the population. The project began with the identification of applicants with disabilities from the entrance survey of the 2017-2018 school year and a second stage of tutor training in each university department. We worked with 59 teacher tutors in workshops on inclusive education, in which an analysis was made about the barriers faced by students with disabilities. Likewise, the life stories of students with disabilities allowed us to identify some facilitating elements that assist their trajectory in the university context. It is concluded that there is still a long way to go to carry out the management processes that allow generalizing the attention to disabilities in higher education institutions and, in particular, within the Universidad Michoacana de San Nicolás de Hidalgo.

Keywords : higher education; disability; inclusive education; tutoring; barriers and facilitators.
