This study analyzes the perception of the faculty of a public university in Mexico in the process of educational inclusion of high school and higher education students with disabilities and neurodiverse. A descriptive qualitative methodology based on discourse analysis through focus groups has been used. The results highlight actions that facilitate inclusion such as architectural adaptations, adapted technology support, guidance and advice. However, barriers that limit learning and participation focused on the training, guidance and updating of teaching staff are also identified, as well as unfavorable attitudes of the university community towards students with disabilities. It is concluded that inclusive education is the main challenge of Higher Education Institutions to guarantee not only access, permanence and graduation; but the quality, equity and educational equality as a constitutional right of any person.
