We focus on their assets — taking a student-centered, disabled-led approach that will inform 10 studies that seek to provide a robust understanding of the postsecondary experiences of disabled students.
Establishing a Comprehensive and Actionable Research Foundation
Much of the current research and services in higher education focus on the deficiencies of disabled students.
The National Disability Center draws upon three fundamental ideas to drive our research and activities.
An Innovative Collaboration
Our research team is an active collaboration between disabled students, faculty members, and researchers. Along with our national partners, they are:
Implementing national student surveys and cognitive labs
Doing a thorough literature review and synthesis
Developing new research measurements
Conducting a secondary data analysis of disabled student experiences in a three-year cohort on the CCSSE survey
