Postsecondary Education
Students with disabilities . . .– are not prepared by senior
year. (Hitchings et al., 2005)
– do not enroll in higher education at the same rate as their non-disabled peers. (Wagner et al., 2005)
– take 6 years to equal the college going rate of non-disabled peers (NLST2)
– 25% of WA students with disabilities enroll in higher education within 1 year
