Abstract

The purpose of this study was to determine the necessary adaptations for students with disabilities in Palestinian universities, from the point of view of (50) students with visual, hearing, and physical disabilities from Jerusalem and Bethlehem universities, who were purposefully chosen from the second semester of the year (2020-2021).The descriptive analytical approach was used, and data was collected using a questionnaire with 36 paragraphs spread over three areas: academic adaptations, environmental adaptations, and social adaptations  (relationship with other students, relationship with the academic and the administrative body).The overall degree of necessary adaptations for students with disabilities in the four areas is high, and there are no statistically significant differences in the averages of adaptations due to the University variable, according to one of the results. Significant differences in the type of disability variable favored visual impairment. The study recommended that Palestinian institutions give close attention to the necessary adaptations for students with disabilities in all professions, particularly those involving hearing and physical difficulties.
