Managing Transition and Student Support Services for Ethnically Diverse College Students with Learning Disabilities (original) (raw)

Postsecondary transition for students with learning disabilities remains an underexplored area despite ongoing challenges these students face, particularly those from ethnically diverse backgrounds. With higher dropout rates compared to their peers without disabilities and lower enrollment in postsecondary education settings, this paper highlights the need for comprehensive transition planning and supportive services. The role of student support administrators is crucial in developing institutional policies to facilitate access and provide necessary accommodations, ensuring nondiscriminatory practices and compliance with civil rights laws.
