Descripción
Sumario:This study is an approach to the problem of exclusion of disabled people by students from the country’s higher education institutions. An instrument was developed based on word association, in order to use the natural semantic network technique with a sample comprising 519 students from nine higher education institutions in Mexico, with the aim of gaining insight into their expressions with respect to disability by using an everyday trigger word. Although the findings reveal acceptance, stigma and misinformation still prevail, which may lead to discrimination.
