This report is part of a larger project which purpose is to generate a theorical construction from the perspective of disabled subjects, using strategies of grounded theory in which narrative techniques, such as observation and interviews, play a central role. What is reported here is just a first approach to explore the topics and techniques to be considered by the project at large. Observations and interviews were carried out around the school experience of a disabled student in a higher education institution of the northeast of Mexico, having as a result the identification of particular barriers for educational inclusion. It is concluded that there is an area of opportunity in question of inclusion and educational equity in higher education institutions in Mexico, mainly in the physical infrastructure, the curriculum and teacher training. La inclusión y la equidad han sido temas prioritarios de los sistemas educativos en todo el mundo para atender a la diversidad de estudiantes, entre ellos, las personas con discapacidad. El presente es parte de un proyecto más amplio que tiene el propósito de generar una construcción teórica desde la perspectiva de los sujetos con discapacidad, utilizando las estrategias de la Teoría Sustentada, en la que las técnicas narrativas, como la observación y la entrevista, juegan un papel primordial. Lo que este artículo reporta es solo una primera aproximación que tuvo por objetivo explorar tanto los temas aconsiderar para el estudio como las técnicas de investigación a utilizar en este proyecto. Para ello, se realizaron observaciones y entrevistas en torno a la experiencia escolar de un estudiante con discapacidad en una institución de educación superior del noreste de México, teniendo como resultado la identificación de ciertas barreras para la inclusión educativa. Se concluye que existe un área de opotunidad en cuestión de inclusión y equidad en las instituciones de educación superior en México, principalmente en la infraestructura física, el currículo y la formación docente.
