A scale for measuring acceptability of incorporating university students wit special needs was developed by the researcher. Data analysis revealed that Al-Aqsa University students' acceptability of incorporating other students with special needs in university learning was generally positive, i.e., the score of the participants' attitudes towards the handicapped was 83.97%; and was of 78.6% towards the visually handicapped and finally towards a family having a handicapped person was also positive.
