| Long abstract | This chapter reviews examples of practices that students have suggested would be helpful in meeting the demands of the university curriculum, and strategies institutions have already tried to address their needs. These include needs for structural change thath are implicit throughout students’ narratives, as well as proactive outreach and intervention strategies by disability services and other offices, assistive technologies provided by institutions, and mentoring services from student peers or other university affiliates. |
