Postsecondary Education For Students With Learning Disabilities, J. Ron Nelson, Benjamin Lignugaris/Kraft

Department of Special Education and Communication Disorders: Faculty Publications

Increasingly, students with learning disabilities are attending community colleges and traditional 4-year colleges and universities. This article presents the results of a review of the literature on services available or recommended for students with learning disabilities. The results suggest that postsecondary institutions have begun to provide a wide array of services to these students. There is little empirical evidence, however, on the effectiveness of those services. An agenda for future research is also discussed.
