Identification of the degree of communication and reading skills in a technological higher education student with dyskinetic cerebral palsy

Abstract

Students with disabilities face significant challenges in accessing higher education and pursuing professional careers. In 2018, the Tecnológico Nacional de México (TecNM) initiated policies to promote inclusive education, however, implementation has been slow in many institutes due to institutional rigidity and the limited resources available for accommodating this student population. At the Southern Guanajuato campus, faculty members involved in the Inclusive Education Program have collaborated with other professors developing assistive technology to support a student with dyskinetic cerebral palsy enrolled in the Business Management Engineering program. This study focuses on the methodology used to assess the student’s reading comprehension level.
