Barberi, Beverly D.
ProQuest LLC, Ed.D. Dissertation, Lincoln Memorial University
College can be a challenging time for freshmen students; but for freshmen college students with disabilities, there are additional challenges to overcome. The purpose of this case study was to analyze freshmen students' perceptions of the various student support programs available for college students with mental or cognitive disabilities and the students' perceptions of receiving adequate support services for successful college completion. The researcher interviewed two students each from four levels of postsecondary institutions: vocational certificate level, community college level, state university level, and private university level. The researcher evaluated if students were using the services available to them. The service used the most was Teacher Assistance, with the next service being Disability Support Services.
