Abstract

As increasing number of young adults with learning disability enter post-secondary settings, it is important to develop further understanding about the contextual processes and supports within college and university environments (Madaus & Shaw,2004). Faculty members play an important role in these students’ educational experience, and hence it is important to increase the faculty awareness, knowledge and skills in order to teach these students effectively. This article will provide information on learning disabilities in higher education, identifying learning disabilities in classrooms and the various accommodations and instructional strategies that faculty can provide to students having learning disabilities. Particular attention is given to the process of making faculty aware of the academic accommodations that they can provide and potentially assist the students having learning disabilities.
