Abstract
This project seeks to investigate how students with disabilities are accommodated in higher education institutions. Through research on theoretical frameworks within disability studies, various higher education institutions’ curricula, and different approaches to disability inclusion, I have found that higher education institutions’ inclusivity of students with disabilities has increased in recent years and that there are no downsides to this inclusion. To examine this, I have synthesized this data to illustrate the experiences of students with disabilities and suggest further actions for improving inclusivity. Allowing equal opportunities for all students in the field of education enriches our society and promotes inclusivity on all fronts.
