ED 669 - Ability and Access in Higher Education

3 Credit(s)

This course examines research, policy, and practice related to the experiences of differently abled persons in higher education contexts. Attention is given to the issues that affect students, faculty members, staff, administrators, and institutional leaders. This includes both those who have physical disabilities and those whose institutional roles include providing support and access for that population. Students use the literature as a point of entry into their own scholarship and practice about this population of participants in postsecondary education. The course design is based on a preparation-engagement-reflection model.
