Increasing Faculty Awareness Of Students With Disabilities: A Two-Pronged Approach, Michael Humphrey, Lee Woods, Linda Huglin

Linda Huglin

Many universities use a center-based model to deliver services to students with disabilities. A hybrid service delivery model utilizing a center-based disability resource and faculty mentors was recently implemented in a large, public university in the Northwestern United States. Noticeable improvements observed to date include increased administrative support, positive collaborations with teaching center staff, and increased faculty awareness of resources for instructing students with disabilities.
