Two focus groups were conducted with 16 disability service providers from
two-year and four-year, public and private postsecondary institutions. Service
providers reported increasingly diverse student populations on their campuses
and a broad range of concerns from faculty regarding the inclusion of students
with learning disabilities (LD) or Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)
in higher education. When asked to share their perspectives on Universal
Design for Instruction (UDI) as a proposed model for addressing these concerns,
service providers noted strengths and weaknesses. Participants also described
their role in promoting UDI on campus and identified resources and support they
would need to carry out this role.
