Supporting the disabled student
Abstract
Chapter Extract:
French and Valdes (2002) indicated that one in five people has a disability. Cook and Gladhart (2002) stated that 10% to 15% of postsecondary students identify themselves as disabled. Classification as disabled includes those experiencing educational barriers due to physical, sensory or cognitive impairments, as well as learning disabilities. For many of these learners, traditional education is largely inaccessible.
