Data shows students with disability find it harder to succeed at uni
The number of students living with a disability accessing tertiary and higher education has quadrupled over the past decade. However, students living with a disability are often overlooked in the tertiary education support system, with several of these students choosing not to disclose their disabilities due to fear of stigma or being treated differently. Experts are calling for changes to the institutional, attitudinal and academic environment to best support academic endeavours of students living with a disability, especially those with invisible disabilities.
