Disabilities:
Intersectional Motivations

Accommodations: Not a linear
road
Research is clear that students who would benefit from removing
academic barriers with accommodations do better with
accommodations.
Not a mystery at all, well documented in fact:
Jorgenson, Fichten, Havel, Lamb, James, and Barille (2005),
Gonzalez, Elliot, (2016); Becker, & Palladino. (2016)
So what is there to research then if this is well known?
In an Ideal World
The large diversity in students means that ultimately not all institutional
barriers will be addressed via the themes gathered from student
responses.
Barriers may differ at community colleges, private universities, and
public universities.
This study only looks at barriers at public universities.
Also this study might not apply well to non-traditionally aged students as
their needs may vary.
As always, more research on the subject is needed but this is a pivotal
first step.
