Summary/Abstract: The article discusses the initiatives of the "Vasile Goldiș" Western University of Arad to enhance inclusive education for students with disabilities and special educational needs. It emphasizes the necessity of establishing a robust Disability Inclusion Institutional Framework (DIIF) to align with international regulations and moral responsibilities. The university's strategy includes revising key documents to incorporate definitions and obligations related to disability inclusion, developing a Methodological Guide for educators, and creating partnerships for best practices. Additionally, measures such as identifying students during the admission process, providing scholarships, and modernizing campus facilities are outlined. The author argues that effective planning and continuous monitoring are essential for creating an inclusive educational environment that promotes equal opportunities for all students.
