The purpose is to include and generate conditions so that students with disabilities can satisfactorily complete the careers they are pursuing, in an atmosphere of acceptance and empowerment of their professional life project. With this intention, the present proposal is articulated in a Work Plan, the same one that aims to: -register the information of students with disabilities through a system of record and follow-up of cases; -Make a training proposal for teaching, administrative and service staff to raise awareness and make visible the rights of students with disabilities; -establish meeting spaces between students with disabilities and the interdisciplinary team of the welfare department to enhance their integration and life projects; objectives focused on the need to promote an inclusive social management system.

In response, a short -term intervention route is proposed, through a plan by objectives, as has been announced in the previous paragraph; so that -from Social Work- direct communication with students with disabilities is strengthened and conditions for their inclusion and stability are generated; being the fundamental purpose that culminate their studies.
