“…Provision is complex and raises many issues with regard to equality of access, understandings of disability, assessment and identification and availability of resources and expertise.

“…Este trabajo de investigación complementa otros trabajos previos sobre esta temática (Borland y James, 1999;Doughty y Allan, 2008;Jacklin et al 2007;Moriña, 2015;Moriña et al 2016;Murray et al 2011;Sánchez Palomino, 2009Prowse, 2009;Tinklin y Hall, 1999), haciendo hincapié en las vivencias subjetivas y narraciones de los estudiantes con discapacidad a través de una metodología biográfico-narrativa.
