From Disability to Diversity: College Success for Students with Learning Disabilities, ADHD, and Autism Spectrum Disorder
Purchase options and add-ons
Colleges and universities are seeing increasing numbers of students with a range of disabilities enrolling in postsecondary education. Many of these disabilities are invisible and, despite their potential for negative impact on students’ academic and social adjustment, some students will choose not to identify as having a disability or request support.
Approaching disability from the perspective of difference, the authors of this new volume offer guidance on creating more inclusive learning environments on campus so that all students―whether or not they have a recognized disability―have the opportunity to succeed. Strategies for supporting students with specific learning disabilities, attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder, autism spectrum disorder or who display learning and behavioral characteristics associated with these profiles are described. A valuable resource for instructors, advisors, academic support personnel, and others who work directly with college students.

Editorial Reviews
Review
"This up-to-date book provides college faculty and support staff with guidance on how to reach and teach students who learn differently. By understanding the cognitive profiles of these students, the authors are changing the campus mindset. Disability is viewed as a facet of diversity to be embraced." -- Loring C. Brinckerhoff, Director, Office of Disability Policy, Educational Testing Service
"This highly accessible and well written text provides important information and resources to college and university faculty and staff who work with students with a range of learning disabilities – or learning differences. Offering insights and suggestions on multiple topics, from models of disability and service delivery, legal requirements, and fundamentals of learning profiles, the book challenges the reader to reconsider key aspects of program and course design and delivery to capitalize on the unique strengths and perspectives of a broader range of students. This text should be a key resource for student affairs programs, faculty instructional design efforts, and institutional diversity efforts." -- Joseph W. Madaus, Associate Dean for Academic Affairs; Director, Center on Postsecondary Education and Disability; Professor, Department of Educational Psychology, University of Connecticut
"Aresource-heavy text focused on the implementation of new pedagogies within theclassroom (or online) to foster deeper thinking and longer retention of newknowledge among students. Acknowledging that practicing faculty do not have thetime to invest in the research of emerging pedagogies, this book providesspecific classroom activities as well as evidence supporting these pedagogicalapproaches. The true value of this book lies in its organization. Every chapteris subdivided and meticulously labeled. In addition to being an informativeread, this book serves as a handy reference to consult when developing orrevising a course.
No matter the content area or discipline, thispedagogical approach provides an opportunity to foster deeper learning andpersonal growth for post-secondary students. While specific student populationsor delivery modalities may alter how an instructor facilitates desirabledifficulties, this book is an ideal primer for those interested in producingresilient and capable students."
