Abstract

This mixed-methods study investigates the inclusive education experiences of Syrian refugee students with disabilities (RwDs) at Yarmouk University (Jordan) and Qatar University (Qatar). Thematic analysis of interviews with two RwDs and document analysis of university policies using the 4-A framework (Availability, Accessibility, Acceptability, Adaptability) revealed disparities in policy implementation and support services. Findings highlight inconsistencies in financial aid, career planning challenges, and the impact of cultural, social, political, and economic factors.
