Journal of Postsecondary Education and Disability, v37 n4 p321-328 2024
While experiential learning experiences provide important professional development opportunities for all college students, successful real-world experience is even more important for students with disabilities, who experience decreased success within the professional setting. This study investigated what information disability resource office websites provided regarding accommodations for experiential learning activities outside of the classroom. A review of public online content of postsecondary institutional websites revealed nonexistent, incomplete, or inconsistent information about accommodations for experiential learning. Of the 397 disability resource office websites reviewed, only 4.0% (N=16) contained any reference to accommodations for experiential learning opportunities outside the classroom. The primary recommendation based on these findings is that institutions must be aware of and communicate accommodations for students with disabilities when participating in experiential learning opportunities outside of the classroom.
