This programme offers training for inclusion in the labour market. Students obtain a certificate, which is not an official university degree. Methods: Inclusive research was conducted using photovoice. The data were collected through photographs, interviews, focus groups and discussion groups. The data were analysed using a system of categories and codes. Results: Co-researchers identified family members, technology, and the course they are studying as supportive factors in their social life. Conversely, family overprotection, their characteristics, and bullying in earlier educational stages were barriers to establishing social relationships. The students propose recommendations, including improving their social and personal skills, increasing activities and gatherings among university students, and tackling bullying. Conclusions: That collaboration is necessary to ensure a more inclusive and equitable social environment for everyoneapplication/pdf16 p.engAttribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 Internationalhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/Inclusive ResearchIntellectual DisabilityPhotovoicePostsecondary Education ProgrammesSocial InclusionSocial LiveUniversityinfo:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess10.1111/jar.70035
