Abstract
Globally, disability inclusion has been brought into the spotlight and has become a significant issue in higher education policy and practice. However, this prominence has brought critical scrutiny to this policy and practice nexus, and challenges are being picked up all over the world. African higher education systems have not been spared from these challenges and universities around the continent are grappling with questions about how students with disabilities can be included, and yet there is limited research about the gap between policy and practice. This raises the question: How are universities on the African continent thinking about and understanding disability in their policy creation and provision?
