Disabilities among students at KI
The number of students with disabilities who receive targeted educational support has increased in recent years, both at KI and in the rest of the country. When designing your course, consider accessibility from the outset. This helps to reduce barriers and create a course in which all students have the opportunity to participate. Here you can see the distribution of different disabilities and find more material and references.
In 2025, 928 students had a valid notification of targeted educational support at KI. In the diagram below you can see the distribution of disabilities among these students. The diagram shows one disability per student, but it is common for students to have more than one of the listed conditions. Examples of conditions in the group "Other limitations of functional ability", which is the third largest group, are chronic illness and long-term pain.
