Definition of students with fewer opportunities
There is no explicit definition of a student in HE with a disability.
The rights of people with a mental and/or physical disability and of children and young persons with special educational needs are dealt within the constitution and through the Law on the Equal Treatment of People with a Disability, among other provisions. The aim of the law is to ensure equal rights to participation in social life and to enable people to choose for themselves how they should lead their lives. The law forbids any form of discrimination based on physical, mental or psychological impairment.
The law on the equal treatment of persons with disabilities defines disability (Behinderung) as
“the effect of a not merely temporary physical, mental or psychological functional impairment or impairment of sensory functions which is likely to make participation in life in society more difficult. A period of more than six months is considered to be not merely temporary.”
