description The school experiences of students with disabilities are an effective information resource for educational systems to become more inclusive and equitable. The objective of this work was to detect school supports, barriers and inclusion needs of students with disabilities at the Universidad Autónoma de Tamaulipas, Victoria campus, to propose a more inclusive and equitable educational model, based on their experiences. The research design included a qualitative modality based on case studies with an explanatory perspective through grounded theory. In depth interviews were carried out with 10 students with disabilities and 10 teachers who taught classes to students with this condition. The results reflected the presence of school support in personal and social attitude, in scholarships, in support between teachers, curricular adaptations and learning strategies. School barriers were found in physical accessibility and academic structure, as well as a discriminatory attitude, ignorance of types of disabilities and their treatment, and the absence of institutional strengthening for inclusion. In addition, they showed that the University is on the road to inclusion, but requires strengthening actions for the transit, permanence and educational achievement of students with disabilities. The institutional inclusion and equity model needs to reinforce at least 8 elements to improve its efficiency: clarity in the concept, culture and inclusive spaces, flexible curriculum, teacher training, shared experiences between teachers and best practices, supervision of participation, evaluation of the educational achievement and links with the labor sector. The foregoing will make it possible to assess the diversity of needs of university students with disabilities, to grant them institutional strengthening that provides them with greater educational inclusion.

Las experiencias escolares de estudiantes con discapacidad son un recurso efectivo de información para que los sistemas educativos se vuelvan más inclusivos y equitativos. El objetivo del presente trabajo fue detectar soportes escolares, barreras y necesidades de inclusión de estudiantes con discapacidad en la Universidad Autónoma de Tamaulipas, campus Victoria, para proponer un modelo educativo más inclusivo y equitativo, basado en sus experiencias. El diseño de la investigación incluyó una modalidad cualitativa basada en estudios de caso con una perspectiva explicativa a través de la teoría fundamentada. Se entrevistó a profundidad a 10 estudiantes con discapacidad y 10 docentes que impartieron clase a estudiantes con esta condición. Los resultados reflejaron la presencia de soportes escolares en la actitud personal y social, en las becas, en apoyo entre docentes, adaptaciones curriculares y estrategias de aprendizaje. También se encontraron barreras escolares en la accesibilidad física y la estructura académica, así como actitud discriminatoria, desconocimiento de tipos de discapacidades y su tratamiento, y la ausencia de fortalecimiento institucional para la inclusión. Además, evidenciaron que la Universidad está en el camino hacia la inclusión, pero requiere afianzar acciones para el tránsito, permanencia y logro educativo del estudiantado con discapacidad. El modelo de inclusión y equidad institucional precisa reforzar al menos 8 elementos para mejorar su eficiencia: claridad en el concepto, cultura y espacios inclusivos, currículo flexible, formación de docentes, experiencias compartidas entre docentes y mejores prácticas, supervisión en la participación, evaluación del logro educativo y vinculación con el sector laboral. Lo anterior permitirá valorar la diversidad de necesidades de estudiantes universitarios con discapacidad, para otorgarles un fortalecimiento institucional que les brinde una mayor inclusión educativa.
