Abstract

Background

This article explores the social life within and outside the university of 17 young Spanish people with intellectual disabilities studying in a postsecondary education programme. This programme offers training for inclusion in the labour market. Students obtain a certificate, which is not an official university degree.

Methods

Inclusive research was conducted using photovoice. The data were collected through photographs, interviews, focus groups and discussion groups. The data were analysed using a system of categories and codes.

Results

Co-researchers identified family members, technology, and the course they are studying as supportive factors in their social life. Conversely, family overprotection, their characteristics, and bullying in earlier educational stages were barriers to establishing social relationships. The students propose recommendations, including improving their social and personal skills, increasing activities and gatherings among university students, and tackling bullying.

Conclusions

That collaboration is necessary to ensure a more inclusive and equitable social environment for everyone.
