LERNER This timely volume explores issues pertinent to the emerging subject of college education for adults with learning disabilities. The inspiration for the book was a conference held at Barat College in Lake Forest Illinois on April 7, 1990, entitled College Students with Learning Disabilities: Reviewing the '80s and Planning for the '90s. The occasion was the celebration of the tenth anniversary of Barat College's program for college students with learning disabilities. Papers presented at this con ference, plus several additional invited chapters, and those of the co editors are included in this much needed publication. Only a few years ago, college was out of the question for most adults with learning disabilities. It is heartening to note that this situation has changed substantially over the last 15 or so years, with great strides in opportunities for adults with learning disabilities to acquire a college level education. From a slow beginning with programs such as the one at Barat College, there are today programs and support services in a variety of settings at a growing number of colleges and universities. Many indi viduals with learning disabilities can look forward to experiencing college and better preparing themselves for the future. The collection of papers in this book offers a comprehensive review of this exciting and challenging field.

Download or read book From Disability to Diversity written by Lynne C. Shea and published by The National Resource Center for The First-Year Experience. This book was released on 2019-02-25 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.

This book was released on 2003 with total page 136 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study described the perceptions of learning disabled (LD) students with regard to the factors that lead to their current success in college. The 5 participants ages 19 to 34, are enrolled as full-time students at a public university in Pennsylvania. The study analyzed the responses of the students to an open-ended survey and a semi-structured interview. Additionally, a parent (or spouse) of each participant completed a survey and was interviewed. The student's confidential file was examined for documentation regarding their learning disability and support services. The study was guided by 4 research questions that examined the critical home experiences, school experiences, student's self-knowledge and current actions, and views regarding critical school initiatives. The results indicated that the 5 participants recognized the importance of learning to self-advocate by explaining their disability and requesting support from their professors. The students also acknowledged the value of the supports available through the Office of Services for Students with Disabilities. The Director and staff of the university provided direct training in self-knowledge and self-awareness along with making available tutors, alternate testing sites, and academic coaches. Also deemed effective were the high school supports such as challenging curriculum, classmates who were academically-oriented, participation in the development of the I.E.P. and attendance in the meetings, and supportive teachers who provided encouragement and risk-taking opportunities. Valuable home experiences included: communication and positive encouragement from family, opportunities for participation in extra-curricular activities, and community service activities. The results also suggested a number of initiatives for schools to implement in order to improve student transitions to postsecondary education.

This book was released on 2005 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to understand factors influencing the successful participation of adults with learning disabilities in higher education. Data were collected through a series of three semi-structured interviews from a sample of ten students presenting verified learning disabilities and attending a minority-serving institution. The key emerging themes and patterns were identified from all thirty transcript analyses. The findings, placed in the context of previous research into college success for students with learning disabilities, enabled recognition of a success model with five overarching themes: A.A higher education institution committed to access and retention for disadvantaged students, reflected in a mission statement that included outreach to students from disadvantaged backgrounds, B. The availability of student support services on campus, C.A social safety net to compensate for low income (specifically, the state vocational rehabilitation agency), D. The support and advocacy of family and teachers, and E.A core of character strengths (specifically, persistence, optimism, and gratitude). Implications and recommendations for future research were discussed.

Book excerpt: The purpose of this pilot project was to determine the factors or supports that college graduates perceived as helping them to thrive and attempt higher education, despite having a learning disability, specifically dyslexia. Based on the literature review, this pilot study examined the four main kinds of support that most students receive while growing up; including family support, peer support, teacher support, and support from other programs and resources. The specific research question explored: What encouraged or discouraged these now adults in their pivotal growing years in regards to dyslexia? This pilot study used a mixed-methods research design which included an anonymous online survey and interview. With only one interview completed a single-case study was derived. The results of this pilot study are shared, including implications for educators and suggestions for future research. What was found is that all four highlighted sources of support played a role in the lives of the participants.
