Resumen
El acceso a la educación es uno de los muchos desafíos que las personas con síndrome
Down han tenido que superar. Este acceso restringido se debe a prejuicios erróneos o ausencia de
compromiso de las instituciones educativas. Si bien se han producido importantes mejoras en las
últimas décadas, aún existen muchos desafíos, como facilitar su acceso a todos los espacios
académicos, incluida la universidad. Aunque se sabe que hay personas con síndrome Down que
han realizados estudios universitarios, en el Perú no existe un conocimiento especializado de estos
casos específicos. Esta investigación ha pretendido narrar las experiencias universitarias de
jóvenes peruanos con síndrome Down contadas por ellos mismos y sus madres, a la vez develar
las fortalezas y barreras experimentadas en este proceso. Para este fin, a partir del método
biográfico narrativo, se analizaron las entrevistas realizadas a dos jóvenes con síndrome Down,
que han realizado estudios universitarios en Perú, y a sus madres. Los resultados fueron dos
reportajes que dan a conocer las experiencias educativas de los participantes y las fortalezas y
barreras vivenciadas en este proceso. Entre las conclusiones obtenidas se resalta que aún no existe
un modelo de educación inclusiva que ofrezca una formación sólida, planificada y con los
pertinentes ajustes razonables, las universidades han sido percibidas por los participantes como
un espacio que beneficia la inclusión social, además, se reconoce la importancia de un tutor en el
proceso educativo universitario y el papel de los padres de familia en la conquista de los espacios
educativos.
