Abstract

Students with disabilities are legally entitled to provision of appropriate accommodations, services, and supports in their postsecondary programs to ensure that their impairments do not become an impediment to their college or university success. As a result, these students must be provided with services such as learning strategy tutoring, coaching in the use of assistive devices, and accommodations in compiling class notes and taking examinations. Not only do these accommodations allow students with disabilities to participate equally in their courses, but, along with other transition services, they encourage students to make the transition to the postsecondary environment in the first place. However, accommodations must extend beyond the traditional academic areas to encompass the social and motivational challenges many students with learning disabilities face if they are to be provided with a truly inclusive postsecondary experience. This chapter presents the nature of these challenges and innovative possibilities for addressing such challenges.
