Colleges and universities are seeing increasing numbers of students with
a range of disabilities enrolling in postsecondary education. Many of
these disabilities are invisible and, despite their potential for
negative impact on students' academic and social adjustment, some
students will choose not to identify as having a disability or request
support.
Approaching disability from the perspective of difference, the authors
of this new volume offer guidance on creating more inclusive learning
environments on campus so that all students--whether or not they have a
recognized disability--have the opportunity to succeed. Strategies for
supporting students with specific learning disabilities,
attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder, autism spectrum disorder or
who display learning and behavioral characteristics associated with
these profiles are described. A valuable resource for instructors,
advisors, academic support personnel, and others who work directly with
college students.
