What if we could imagine the ideal faculty? Proposals for improvement by university students with disabilities

•The faculty must show a positive attitude toward disability and be trained in attending to the needs derived from disabilities.•The faculty should promote inclusive practices using alternative methodologies to the standard lecture.•It's necessary that the faculty use new technologies in the classrooms and be trained in new technologies.

This article presents the partial results of a broader research project entitled, “University Barriers and Aids Identified by Students with Disabilities”, which is currently underway at a Spanish University. The general aim is to analyze the role of faculty in inclusive education of students with disabilities, and more specifically, proposals for improvement made by these students. A biographic-narrative methodology was used to collect data. The study concludes that faculty must show a positive attitude toward disability, promote inclusive practices using alternative methodologies, make curriculum adaptations, use new technologies and be trained in attending the needs derived from disabilities.
