Adults with disabilities confront significant difficulties in attaining and maintaining their desired quality of life (Halpern, 1993). Despite legislation requiring postsecondary settings to accommodate persons with disabilities, longitudinal and follow-up studies consistently show that disproportionately fewer students with disabilities receive postsecondary experiences than students without disabilities. Access is not the only problem. Research also consistently shows that students with disabilities are less likely to matriculate or attain suitable employment with a degree or vocational certificate.

The Mentor An Academic Advising Journal

Knight, Syracuse University Introduction Higher education is progressively becoming a viable option for an increasing number of non-traditional students. Due in part to legal affirmation and evolving educational practices, individuals with disabilities are among the growing number of minority populations who are diversifying college campuses across the nation (Nutter & Ringgenberg, 1993). The number of students with disabilities attending postsecondary education institutions in the United States has tripled since 1978 (Willie-Gregory, Graham, & Hughes, 1995). The degree of success that students with disabilities experience is, in part, predicated on the quality of academic advisement. In order to facilitate a successful college venture, a plethora of services and organizations have been established and cataloged for student use at various institutions of higher learning.
