Barriers To Accommodation Use For Students With Disabilities In Postsecondary Education, Michael James Lyman
Barriers To Accommodation Use For Students With Disabilities In Postsecondary Education, Michael James Lyman
Theses and Dissertations
Students with disabilities at the postsecondary level face a number of different barriers to accommodation use.

Limited research has been conducted to identify barriers to accommodation use, and the research that has been conducted has not sampled a population that was specifically identified as having faced barriers to accommodation use. By interviewing students with disabilities, who had been identified as having faced barriers, this study identified seven themes. Four of the identified themes were considered complex as they contained sub-themes, while …

This study explored the moderating role of emerging adults' relationships with peers, siblings, and parents in the relation between these models' risk taking behaviors and emerging adults' risk taking behaviors, The mediating …

The transitional period from adolescence to young adulthood is defined as the stage of life that begins at the conclusion of high school and ends with the acceptance of adult roles (i.e., career, marriage, parenthood).

The participants were 427 emerging- adult, undergraduate students 18 to …
