| Abstract: | The aim of this article is to analyse the results of the implementation of a training itinerary on students' attitudes and views towards disability in the framework of inclusive higher education. Three hundred and thirty-three university students participated in the study and pre- and post-treatment measures were carried out using the Arias, Arias, Verdugo, Rubia and Jenaro attitude scale (2016). Social relations, normalized life and professional environment were analysed. The research design compared control groups versus experimental groups. The variable related to disability, as well as its family, assistance, work or friendship subtypes, were critical in the interpretation of the results. The impact of a specific university curriculum in the area of disability shows a direct and significant relationship between training and the generation of positive attitudes, validating the suitability of the pedagogical strategy described to generate inclusive working environments in the future professional practice of university students. |
