Abstract

Implementing the CRPD in higher education can build a culture for recognition of persons with disabilities as students and employees. This chapter explores and discusses what kind of structure can be helpful supporting students and staff. Drawing on international experiences, this chapter discusses what policies for inclusion in higher education can look like. This chapter includes a discussion of practical measures regarding the implementation of the CRPD at the institutional level and reasonable accommodation at micro levels, based on the evaluation of the implementation done by the UN CRPD committee. The aim of the chapter is to examine experiences from different global contexts and add to the knowledge base supporting inclusive education in higher education.
