Lessons on ways to develop self-empowerment

What is it about?

Researchers examine the new landscape of higher education, which is changing and evolving in the 21st Century, as many non-traditional students, especially learners with physical disabilities, are “knocking on the door of higher education” (Harbour & Maudaus, 2011, p.1). Students with physical disabilities must decide how they desire to become engaged (or not) in campus life. This study provides a theoretical framework of the moral responsibility for an academic community. Thus, this research study includes findings that indicate gaining insight into the isolation, stigma, and advocacy of these students’ lived experiences that will require openness for inclusive practices to uplift all students with goals of graduation and employment.
