Abstract

Numerous obstacles that occur during the study of students with disabilities related to their disabilities, and to which students continually indicate, are still the cause of a very small number of students with disabilities at our universities.University of Rijeka initiated significant measures for the inclusion of students with disabilities at their colleges, from architectural adjustments to the organization of various support measures, which contributed to the increase in the number of students with disabilities in all constituents of the University. Faculty of Medicine in Rijeka as a constituent of the same University has recognized the need for a different consideration of problems of persons with disabilities, and for many years has been promoting the professional and scientific interest that aims to improve the quality of life of the disabled. Based on the previous experience and activities the Faculty of Medicine in Rijeka has initiated a project of involving students with disabilities at our institution whose aim is the organisation of the support model of educating students with disabilities. The implementation of the model will provide the preconditions of systematic support to students with disabilities at our university. The presentation of the project results will create preconditions for the implementation of the model to other universities aiming to respect the specifics of the individual needs of each student with disabilities.
