Abstract:
|
Although there has been increased representation of students with disabilities in postsecondary education, this group is still underrepresented among the higher education student population. Often feeling invisible and isolated, students with disabilities search for ways to belong in a world geared more toward those who are considered abled. Access to higher education can be the genesis to gaining the agency and autonomy these college students are seeking through education. However, gaining access is only an initial step in the pursuit of higher education. Institutions have an obligation to their students beyond allowing access to education. There must be a deliberate plan to ensure their success and retention. This presentation will review issues facing students with disabilities in higher education. Also, strategies that mitigate some of the challenges experienced by this population will be discussed. |
