Recent changes in the labor market have shown the importance of postsecondary education for students with disabilities. With limited access to higher education, some students with disabilities cannot compete successfully. Because understanding the necessary educational supports and accommodations in postsecondary institutions appears to be critical to employment and quality adult life, the National Center for the Study of Postsecondary Educational Supports (NCSPES) at the University of Hawai'i at Manoa recently completed a national survey of educational support provision programs. A comparison of institutions whose disability support coordinators (DSCs) are members of the Association of Higher Education And Disability (AHEAD) and DSCs at non-affiliated institutions suggests that affiliated institutions provide significantly more supports for these students in many of the areas surveyed than do non-AHEAD postsecondary programs.
