Telma Ríos Condado, María Elisa Celis, Miguel Robles Bárcena y Marco Antonio Bonaparte


We describe herein the background and the actions undertaken for implementing the Unit for the Care of People with disabilities at the General Direction of Orientation and Educational Services, (DGOSE for its acronym in Spanish) at the UNAM. DGOSE has as its mission to contribute to the wide-ranging education of the students, promoting their development in the personal, academic and professional grounds, during their years at the University. This goal is accomplished through several strategies for advising and support, designed on the basis of the nature of their educational challenges. These DGOSE programs are also addressed to students with disabilities.
