Working with Students with Disabilities: A Faculty/Staff Guide
The number of students with disabilities in higher education continues
to grow as more of these students pursue career opportunities
requiring post-secondary degrees. According to recent statistics from
the American Council on Education, 6 percent of full-time freshmen
attending four-year universities identified themselves as having a disability.
The majority of these students reported themselves as having
learning disabilities.
This trend is reflected at Towson University, where approximately
1,200 students, or nearly 6 percent of our increasingly diverse
population, have identified themselves as having a disability and requested
accommodations through Disability Support Services (DSS).
Faculty and staff collaboration in the process of accommodation
for students with disabilities is critical for the success of these
students. This guide is designed to provide faculty and staff with
information for working with students with disabilities, including
accommodating, teaching and advising students with various types
of disabilities.
DSS staff welcome additional ideas and strategies that you have
found useful, and we look forward to working with you and your
students with disabilities.
