Abstract
This qualitative study aimed to explore the narratives of disabled students at Iloilo State University of Fisheries Science and Technology - Dingle Campus. Key informants were purposefully selected, and the content analysis method was used to examine their stories during the pandemic. Interviews were conducted over a set period, and themes were generated through selective and open coding. Findings revealed that the most critical needs for college students with disabilities included scholarships to support their education, accessible services for more effortless movement in high-story buildings, and student assistance programs to build self-confidence and advocacy skills. Students faced various challenges, these includes physical obstacles like struggling to carry heavy items, dealing with stairs, and encountering bullying, especially from their peers. Inclusive classrooms play is important for embracing diverse learners and promoting success through tailored instruction. Teachers play an important role in maintaining school records, assisting with the recruitment of both students and teachers, and organizing training programs for everyone involved. They are also responsible for evaluating classroom instruction. This study emphasizes the importance of creating equitable and inclusive educational environments supported by clear guidelines for developing pedagogical interventions that promote academic success for all students.
