The purpose of this qualitative case study was to discover ways in which
community college faculty and administrators can better facilitate learning for students
with disabilities. Semi-structured interviews, preinterview questionnaires, and a review
of relevant documents were used to gain an understanding of how community college
faculty perceive the challenges of teaching students with disabilities. Additional research
goals included an exploration of strategies community college faculty have found
effective in assisting students with disabilities to be successful, actions community
college administrators have taken that effectively address issues related to success for
students with disabilities, and approaches community college administrators use to
enhance their support of faculty who teach students with disabilities.
