Students with disabilities face a vast array of physical, cognitive, social, and external barriers. The combination of barriers and negative attitudes faced by students with disabilities makes it difficult to develop skills to be more independent in future academic and career-related settings. This article examines the importance of faculty mentorship and peer mentoring programs in relation to the academic success of students with disabilities as well as the need for additional tutor training in working with students with disabilities. The article reports on the Faculty Mentorship Program and tutor training sessions that were developed and implemented at Ball State University. (Contains 2 figures.)
