Disability in Higher Education: From Person-Based to Interaction-Based.
Porter, Jeffrey
Journal on Excellence in College Teaching, v5 n1 p69-75 1994
This article advances a view of disability as interaction-specific rather than person-specific, as arising when the nature of the academic task or instructional environment fails to support adequately the learning characteristics of the student. The implications of this view for all students in higher education are explored. (MDM)
