Self-Advocacy Training - Improving Student Engagement with Instructors Regarding their Accommodations.
College students with disabilities can experience anxiety and discomfort when communicating with instructors about their approved accommodations. This may be due to fears of stigma and negative reactions, communication challenges, or a sense of burdening faculty. These student concerns can lead to underutilization of accommodations, despite their potential to enhance academic success.
