Inclusive higher education requires the implementation of effective teaching strategies that ensure equal learning opportunities for all students, including those with disabilities. Higher mathematics, characterized by abstract concepts, symbolic representations, and high cognitive demands, poses significant challenges for students with special educational needs. This study examines modern methods of teaching higher mathematics to students with disabilities, focusing on inclusive pedagogical frameworks and innovative digital technologies. The research highlights the role of Universal Design for Learning (UDL), adaptive learning systems, multimodal instruction, assistive technologies, and differentiated assessment strategies in improving accessibility and learning outcomes. These approaches support individualized learning, enhance student engagement, and reduce cognitive overload. The findings emphasize that the integration of modern teaching methods contributes to the creation of inclusive, student-centered learning environments and promotes academic success in higher mathematics education [3,5,7]. The study also underscores the importance of institutional support, teacher training, and alignment with international inclusive education policies. Overall, the adoption of contemporary instructional methods is essential for ensuring educational equity and sustainability in higher mathematics instruction for students with disabilities [1].References
