Download or read book TRANSGENDER GENDER NONBINARY STUDENTS WITH DISABILITIES BEST PRACTICES FOR DISABILITY SUPPORT SERVICES PROVIDERS IN POSTSECONDARY EDUCATION written by Dana M Cea and published by . This book was released on 2021 with total page 129 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There are approximately 26,600 students of public higher education in the United States of America who identify as transgender/gender nonbinary and have at least one disability. Research has focused on these two marginalized identities (i.e., gender identity, disability status) separately for college students, and there is sparse research regarding the experiences of students for whom these two identities intersect. This study addressed the gap in research by exploring which best practices used by disability support services (DSS) providers and administrators led to student academic success and elicited feedback on the best practices from these students. A survey of questions was created based upon previous research regarding the academic success of college students with disabilities and proposed best practices for supporting this group of students. Survey responses were received from recent students (n = 89) of public higher education who identified as transgender/gender nonbinary and had at least one disability. The results indicate that the majority of participants contacted disability support services at their public university or college. A relationship between contacting DSS providers and administrators and academic success was not found to be statistically significant. Additionally, the relationship between receiving accommodations from DSS providers and administrators and academic success was not found to be statistically significant. Further results demonstrated a significant association only between academic success and three practices: (1) DSS providers and administrators offering to connect students with career counseling or other vocational supports, (2) DSS providers and administrators ensuring participants' inclusion in campus activities and groups, and (3) DSS providers and administrators ensuring that school facilities are accessible for students. Finally, the best practice endorsed by the most participants was hiring staff who openly identify as having a disability. Qualitative responses from students indicated a need for responsiveness, advocacy, and accessibility from DSS providers and administrators. Limitations of this study include new instrumentation with a need for more validity and reliability information; a relatively small sample size with no demographic information gathered; and the effects of current events. Implications for DSS providers and administrators, counselor educators, and future research conclude the study.

This book was released on 2020-08-16 with total page 409 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines issues across the lifespan of transgender and nonbinary individuals whilst synthesizing conceptual work, empirical evidence, pedagogical content, educational experiences, and the voices of transgender and nonbinary individuals. It highlights the resilience and resistance of transgender and nonbinary individuals and communities to challenge narratives relying on one-dimensional perspectives of risk and tragic lives. While there is currently unprecedented visibility and increasing support, members of these communities still face shockingly high rates of violence, victimization, unemployment, discrimination, and family rejection. Significant need for services and support coupled with social, clinical, and medical service systems ill-equipped to provide culturally responsive care illustrates the critical need for quality education and training of educators, practitioners, and service providers in best practices of working with members of the transgender and nonbinary community. Organized into six sections: Health Areas of Practice Coming Out and Family Relationships and Sexuality Communities Multiply Marginalized Identities and Populations, this book offers a current, comprehensive, and intersectional guide for students, practitioners, and researchers across a variety of professions, including social work, psychology, public policy, and health care.

Download or read book Transition by Design written by Audrey A. Trainor and published by Teachers College Press. This book was released on 2017 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Transitions to adulthood for adolescents with disabilities are as diverse as the adolescents themselves. While there have been marked improvements for students with disabilities, there is still concern that employment education and independent living outcomes are not equitable across groups of students. For example, adolescents of color are more likely to face exclusionary discipline procedures in school resulting in detention and court involvement which, in turn, can limit access to educational opportunities in inclusive settings. Recommending a shift toward strengths-based approaches to research and practice, Trainor explores how all stakeholders, including researchers and practitioners, can help shape equitable opportunities for youth with disabilities in transition. Transition by Design reframes disability, diversity, and equity during the transition from high school to adulthood. “Audrey Trainor offers an excellent treatise on transition research and practice as cultural acts that lead to differential outcomes for youth with disabilities, particularly for those from historically marginalized groups. Each of us must heed her call to examine how our personal and professional cultures influence our work and contribute to equity, or inequity, in programs and services for these populations.” —Alba A. Ortiz, professor emerita, The University of Texas at Austin “With passion and precision, Trainor calls us to see the work of transition education through new and broader lenses. Her remarkable book pushes the field to pursue equity and ensure every young person with a disability can flourish.” —Erik Carter, professor, Vanderbilt University
