Serving Students with Psychiatric Disabilities
on Campus: Clarifying the DSS Counselor's Role
Karen V. Unger
Abstract: Students with psychiatric disabilities
are enrolling in colleges to begin or resume their education in
greater numbers than ever before. This article describes ways in
which disability service providers can mitigate the results of stigma,
misunderstanding and faculty resistence by three major principles
of practice: delineating treatment issues from educational issues,
providing accommodations and understanding behavioral responsibilities.
Compensatory Computer Technology for Disabled
College Students: Applications and an Evaluation of Student Use,
Satisfaction, and Academic Outcomes
Duane F, Shell & Christy A. Horn
Abstract: In this paper we will provide a summary
of evaluation results on student use, satisfaction, and academic
outcomes resulting from the use of compensatory technology services.
Evaluation results indicated a high level of student use, belief
by students that compensatory systems were helpful, and improved
student academic performance.
A Private College's Response to the Emerging
Minority of Students with Disabilities
Margaret K. Sheridan & Theresa Ammirati
Abstract: This case study reviews and analyzes
the patterns of institutional change in a private and highly selective
college that are in response to the needs of students with disabilities.
Document and archival record review, interviews, questionnaires,
and participant-observation are used as multiple data sources.
Findings indicate that organizational changes necessary to effectively
serve this emerging minority are complex and multidimensional.
Six key factors that facilitated organizational change are described,
recent changes are cited, and suggestions for further change or
improvement are highlighted. This format of self-study and the
application of findings from this case study may be useful to
other small colleges initiating programs for serving students
with disabilities.
