The present work addresses the accessibility barriers to university education as an opportunity for greater inclusion. Universities must facilitate all students’ physical, curricular, and relational access and comply with a “reasonable accommodation” policy to allow students with disabilities equal opportunities. The aim is to analyze the barriers that hinder educational inclusion. Four factors are explored: the students’ accessibility to facilities and resources; the teachers’ willingness to respond to students with disabilities and special educational needs (SEN); the teachers’ curricular adjustments to meet those needs; the students’ interactions with their peers and professors. We worked with a sample of 201 university professors of teacher training programs in Spain. The results show statistically significant differences in the factors indicated, according to sex, age group, teaching experience, and experience with students who require educational support. According to the study results, a series of recommendations are included to improve the training necessary for university professors to promote inclusive education.Rosa-Eva Valle-FlórezAna María de Caso FuertesRoberto BaeloSheila García-MartínMDPI AGarticledisability inclusionhigher educationspecial educational needs (SEN)universal design for learning (UDL)inclusive educationteacher trainingMedicineRENInternational Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health, Vol 18, Iss 11667, p 11667 (2021)
