Journal of Postsecondary Education and Disability, v34 n1 p5-18 Spr 2021
The COVID-19 pandemic resulted in nearly every postsecondary institution in the United States rapidly shifting to remote learning during the spring 2020 semester. This study presents the results of a survey of a national sample of college students with disabilities, the first such study specific to students with disabilities beyond a single institution. Students reported feeling supported by their institutions, faculty, and disability services offices, while also noting shifts in accommodation needs, as well as personal, health, and financial concerns. Implications and future research needs are presented.
