Support for students
with disabilities

The values and identity culture of INSA include welcoming and supporting a wide range of students and supporting equal opportunities.

As part of the Student and University Life Department, the INSA Toulouse Disability Center welcomes and supports students with temporary or permanent disabilities, as well as students with health disorders or learning difficulties (such as “dys” disorders).

The support offered is undertaken in conjunction with the Department of Studies and the physician appointed by the CDAPH, in close collaboration with the INSA teaching teams, social service assistant, nurse and psychologist.

In agreement with the student, the Disability Center coordinates the implementation of tailored arrangements and assistance for classes, tutorials, practical work, physical and sporting activities, internships, exchange trips abroad, etc.
