DISABILITY CONDITIONS AND INSTRUCTIONAL STRATEGIES

Colleges and universities typically serve students with the following disability conditions: mobility impairments, vision impairments, hearing impairments, learning disabilities, attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder, systemic disabilities, psychiatric disabilities, and brain injuries. Some of these conditions are readily apparent, while others are not always visible to an observer.
