Report & Chartbook: The 2012 Biennial "AHEAD" Survey of Disability Service and Resource Professionals in Higher Education: Employment and Compensation
Devva Kasnitz
Association on Higher Education and Disability
This is the fourth iteration of this survey of people working on disability issues in higher education conducted by the Association on Higher Education And Disability (AHEAD). Originally conducted in 2004, 2008, and 2010, the 2012 questionnaire covers most of the questions asked in previous versions with changes for clarity. The original purpose of the survey was to: (1) Collect demographic information about a wide variety of disability services office staff, including personal statistics (e.g., age, ethnicity), professional backgrounds, and salary ranges; (2) Learn more details about the administration of disability services offices, including the number of students and staff served, the decentralization or centralization of services, and the institutional units (e.g., academic affairs, student affairs) overseeing disability services operations; and (3) Find practical information to guide administrators in disability services offices and at AHEAD, including which types of compensation, resources, and professional development opportunities would be most beneficial for disability services staff. The survey is interested in tracking trends where the unit of study shifts from the individual respondent disability service professional, to the respondent's job, to the office and campus context in which the respondent works, to the overall nature of disability services at the respondent's campus or workplace, and to characteristics of disabled students or faculty/staff served.
