Access in Education: Assisting Students from
Dependence To lndependence
Dale Brown, Bill Clopton & Anthony Tusler
Abstract: Disability service providers are encouraged
to make a commitment to promote student independence an essential
aspect of their jobs. Two models of service delivery are described,
with the second, the Student Development Model being offered as
a way to foster student empowerment.
Special Education Faculty Involvement
Sally Scott
Abstract: It has been proposed that special
education faculty members have a particularly valuable role to
play in providing state-of-the-art services for college students
with disabilities. The literature to date, however, does not contain
information about their actual involvement. For preliminary inquiry,
a pilot survey was conducted of department chairs or coordinators
of special education programs in institutions of higher education
in the state of Virginia. Results indicate that special education
faculty are not widely involved in formal services for students
with disabilities. However, many are participating on a more informal
basis in various institutional service functions benefiting students
with disabilities. Implications of these findings are discussed.
