Abstract

Students with disabilities can experience difficulty in receiving an education; inclusive education is an educational practice designed to ameliorate these problems. This paper presents the design for a study of the current inclusivepractices in computer science courses. Challenges in studying the experiences of disabled students are discussed, and a methodology using semi-structured interviews and grounded theory is developed to address these difficulties. A pilot study involving students taking their first computing courses is also described.
