  1. Support and Inclusion of students with disabilities at higher education institutions in Montenegro – SINC@HE

  2. In 2007 the European Ministers of Higher Education said: • “Higher education should play a strong role in fostering social cohesion, reducing inequalities and raising the level of knowledge, skills and competences in society … We share the societal aspiration that the student body entering, participating in and completing higher education at all levels should reflect the diversity of our populations”.

  3. Definition of Inclusion Inclusion is the full acceptance of all students and leads to a sense of belonging within the classroom community. Inclusion is an effort to make sure students with disabilities go to school along with their friends and neighbors while also receiving whatever, “specially designed instruction and support” they need to achieve high standards and succeed as learners.

  4. THE FOUR FACTORS OF INCLUSION FLEXIBILITY CULTURE COMMUNICATION COHESION

  5. Inclusion and HEIs Inclusion: reconstruction of the educational process including its educational services, curriculum, and the rehabilitation of the staff's beliefs and roles in the educational field in order to meet the needs of special needs students.

  6. Process

  7. Modifications • Modifications refer to changes made to curriculum expectations in order to meet the needs of the student. • Modifications are made when the expectations are beyond the students level of ability. • Modifications may be minimal or very complex depending on the student performance.

  8. Adaptations • Adaptations are teaching and assessment strategies especially designed to accommodate a student’s needs so he or she can achieve the learning outcomes of the subject or course and to demonstrate mastery of concepts. • Essentially, adaptations are “best practice” in teaching. A student working on learning outcomes of any grade or course level may be supported through use of adaptations.

  9. Disability Visual impairment/ disability, including blindness Emotional disturbance or Psychological and psychiatric disorders Physical disability or/ and orthopedic impairment Long-term health condition or/ and other health impairment (e.g. cancer, asthma, HIV/AIDS, epilepsy, chronic fatigue syndrome, diabetes) Hearing impairment/ disability, including deafness Specific learning difficulties or Specific learning disability

  10. The project focuses on providing support to students with disabilities in order to improve inclusion in ME HEIs. • This support is established through social services such as counseling, psychological support, assistive technology and teaching aids.
