Description

<p>Inclusive higher education system is the major access for students with visual impairment and other disability to attend universities in China. Support from universities is the key for those students with visual impairment to efficiently study and graduate. To study the supporting situation offered by universities, 108 universities were surveyed with questionnaires. Results showed that 76% of those universities have special education college. It was found out that the supporting items provided by universities which have special education college are more comprehensive than universities which do not have special education college. It was also found out that universities are facing various difficulties in supporting students with visual impairment, mainly deciding the supporting contents, and setting up barrier-free information. Since more universities in China are starting to accept students with visual impairment, experience of how to support students with visual impairment in special education college will be valuable. It was suggested that regular universities learn from special education colleges to improve their ability to support those students.</p>
