Inclusion and special needs

Mission  

The Inclusion and Special Educational Needs team, within the Psychopedagogical Support and Inclusion Area, works to ensure that any person, regardless of their disability or specific educational needs, can access higher education with equal opportunities and enjoy a full and autonomous academic and social life at the university.  

Areas of Work 

• Assessment of educational needs, tutoring, and individualized follow-up. 
• Advising teaching staff. 
• Technical resources that enable class participation. 
• Information and assessment about accessibility and mobility on campus. 

Principles 

• Personal autonomy of students with disabilities, understood as the ability to control, face, and make personal decisions about how to live according to one’s individual preferences.
• Normalization, the principle by which people with disabilities should be able to lead a normal life, accessing the same places, environments, goods, and services available to any other person. 
• Equity in intervention policies and actions aimed at guaranteeing equality for university students with disabilities in relation to the rest of the student body. 
• Participation of all UAB officers and services in upholding equality policies: governing team, teaching staff, administrative and service staff, and students.  
• Shared responsibility for students with disabilities in achieving their academic goals.
