Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1992. With an ever-increasing number of deaf students entering higher education throughout the world, major strides need to be made in provision and support for them. This book recognises that the integration of deaf students into mainstream higher education raises complex and challenging problems. It has proved extremely difficult for deaf students to enter fully into the social and extra-curricular fabric of campus life – an essential factor in ensuring student success. The authors provide an assessment of state-of-the-art practice in postsecondary settings and suggest theoretical and practical approaches to providing support. There is discussion of the attainments of deaf graduates with commentaries by deaf persons about their experiences in college. In addition, statistics support the theoretical contentions and clearly demonstrate the benefits of postsecondary education to deaf people.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report presents results of statistical analysis of the 1993 federal "Survey on Deaf and Hard of Hearing Students in Postsecondary Education." Data were collected from 982 of the nation's 2-year and 4-year postsecondary institutions (Gallaudet University and the National Technical Institute for the Deaf were not included) and were weighted to provide national estimates. Highlights of findings include: (1) about half of the nation's 5,000 postsecondary institutions enrolled one or more students who identified themselves as deaf or hard of hearing in the last 4 years; (2) public institutions were much more likely than private institutions to enroll such students (79 percent versus 29 percent); (3) a total of 20,040 deaf or hard of hearing students were identified (an increase of approximately 3,000 students since 1989); (4) about a third of the institutions provided special support services to a total of 16,100 students; (5) classroom notetakers, sign language interpreters, and assistive listening devices were the major support services provided. This report provides detailed analysis in narrative, tables, and figures on: enrollment in postsecondary institutions, provision of support services, types of support services provided, problems with providing support services, and information that institutions would find useful in providing services. Additional information details the survey methodology and data reliability. Two appendices provide tables of standard errors and the survey questionnaire. Contains 12 references. (DB)

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As wider access to higher education becomes a top priority for governments in the UK and around the world, this ground-breaking piece of work raises the challenging questions that policy-makers, vice-chancellors and government officials are reluctant to ask. A highly qualified team of authors have closely analyzed rates of participation and the experiences of disabled students in higher education over a two year period. They compare the responses of eight different universities to the new anti-discriminatory practice, contrasting their social profiles, academic missions, support systems for disabled students and approaches for the implementation of change. Change comes under particular scrutiny, with a close examination of each university’s interpretation of ‘reasonable adjustments’, and the extent to which they have modified their campuses and teaching accordingly. Student case studies are used throughout to illustrate the real impact of institutional responses to the legislation. Disabled Students in Higher Education will make fascinating reading for students of education, social policy, politics, and disability studies, and for those working towards accredited university teacher status.

This book was released on 2015 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Students who are deaf or hard-of-hearing represent a special population of students with unique accommodation needs (Cawthon & Online Research Lab, 2008). The goal of these accommodations, whether utilized during classroom instruction or assessment, is to ensure students have access to academic material and are able to demonstrate their skills on knowledge assessments. These students have historically had less access to higher education and in the last few decades research has examined their low rates of retention in postsecondary institutions (Lang, 2002). Previous research has examined a variety of social and academic factors in relation to retention of deaf or hard-of-hearing students (Albertini, Kelly, & Matchett, 2011). However, this research is often limited to few sites and time windows, rather than examining the longitudinal nature of retention. This dissertation proposed to utilize the deaf or hard-of-hearing sample in the National Longitudinal Transition Study-2 (NLTS2) to examine the extent of the relationship between students' experiences of accommodations in their postsecondary setting and their retention in that setting. Particular aspects of this experience included student evaluations of their accommodations' utility and whether they received sufficient accommodations. Analysis included two logistic regression where responses to questions regarding accommodations, controlling for previous school performance, socioeconomic status, and co-occurring disabilities, were used to predict college retention. Analysis also addressed whether the student's communication modality moderates the relationship between students' evaluations of accommodations utility and sufficiency and college retention.
