This Handbook is an essential starting point for cross-national
examinations, comparisons, and discussions about state-of-the-art
practices in higher education accessibility and service delivery
support for disabled students. Spanning a broad geographical range,
the topics addressed are examined within the context of the
practice and philosophy of different countries. With trends and
practices varying from country to country, each topic is explored
from a range of international perspectives. Structured into three
distinct sections, the Handbook first addresses how students with
disabilities and their families can prepare for the transition to
postsecondary education, before moving to present an overview of
the types of support and services available to students with
disabilities. The final chapters then explore a variety of topics
related to higher education and disability, including assistive
technology, disability culture and social justice, emerging trends
and promising practices, self-determination and universal design.
This accessible Handbook will prove an invaluable reference tool
for researchers, academics and students with an interest in the
sociology of education from health, education and welfare policy
perspectives, as well as for higher education policymakers and
funding and governance bodies.
