Abstract

Education is the basic right of everyone without discrimination of his race, color, caste, etc. The purpose of this study was to highlight the issues and consequences faced by the disabled students of universities during their education. The researcher collected 10 female students, aged 18-24 years old, of different public universities of Multan by using the purposive sampling. The researcher did the qualitative study and used the case study method to collect the data. It was found that the disabled students of universities faced the behavioral issues of the students, the teachers and the staff of the universities and faced the mobility and transport issues. Their special vehicles could not move freely in the premise and fully participate in the different activities. This also affected their mental and physical health. It was also discovered that there was a lack of trained staff, good material of education, special schemes for the disabled students. On the basis of findings, it is suggested that the university officials should have to pay attention towards the disabled students; organize the seminars and give training to the students and teachers for the well-being of the disabled students.
