WebDescription
This poster was prepared to illustrate a project under the National Center for College Students with Disabilities (NCCSD), a collaboration between ICI and the Association on Higher Education And Disability (AHEAD).
Despite various supports provided in colleges and universities, little is known about their effectiveness for promoting retention and graduation of college students with disabilities. In collaboration with AHEAD and NCCSD, ICI is reviewing the literature on the services, programs, and interventions provided to support social and academic outcomes of college students with disabilities. ICI is investigating the generalizability and efficacy of these supports according to the empirical literature. The results will inform higher education professionals in best practices for supporting the success of college students with disabilities.
