Abstract:
Education is a space where the search for knowledge and personal development should be available to all individuals equally. However, currently, it faces a persistent problem related to the inclusion of students who have special conditions such as learning disabilities or special learning needs. This problem is aggravated when the barriers that hinder access to education are not effectively addressed. In this sense, the inclusion of people with disabilities in the teaching-learning process is a priority, as it guarantees the right to inclusive education. Furthermore, the fact that the organization allocates resources makes a significant difference, since it ensures the educational quality and comprehensive development of all students, contributing positively to the growth of a more fair and equitable society. Consequently, universities have had to adapt, improve, and create new resources to ensure greater inclusion. These resources, their design, and development are managed by the inclusion support services, whose objective is the full inclusion of students with disabilities and the promotion of community awareness. Therefore, this article analyzes the institutional role of inclusion services and the support they provide to students who suffer from learning disabilities with a higher prevalence rate.Keywords:
