SANTOS, Evelyn et al. Inclusion in higher education: Perceptions of students with Special Educational Needs on entrance to university. Rev. Port. de Educação [online]. 2015, vol.28, n.2, pp.251-270. ISSN 0871-9187.

Nowadays inclusive education in Higher Education is considered to be a challenge in social, educational and political domains, that moves us towards a reflection regarding the entrance of students with Special Educational Needs in the Portuguese Higher Education sector. To obtain knowledge about the main support considered to be important in inclusion, the investigation was conducted according to a qualitative method, collecting data through a semi-structured interview. This data concludes that support measures are extremely important, especially the family. The Special Contingency to access the Higher Education was considered by students as an important support. The University's organization in the entrance process was considered to be satisfactory, which justifies why some aspects need to be modified. Despite the fact that inclusive politics in Portugal difficult the process of permanency of these students in the University of Aveiro, the physical, structural, cultural and attitudinal accessibilities are pointed as fundamental elements in their permanency.
