Evaluating College Programs for Learning Disabled Students: An Approach for Adaptation.
McGuire, Joan M.; And Others
The paper presents a comprehensive approach to evaluation of programs for postsecondary students with learning disabilities. The evaluation design is suitable for programs in 2-year and 4-year settings, and incorporates both process and product evaluation methods. The approach was used to evaluate learning disability support services at Housatonic Community College (Connecticut) and the University of Connecticut. The evaluation focused on program activities, such as identifying referral sources, processing referrals, implementing direct instructional services, providing testing accommodations, and consulting with on-campus personnel; and program outcomes, such as satisfactory completion of courses, retention, and graduation. Examples are offered of forms generated to manage ongoing data collection and to display longitudinal information regarding program activities and outcomes. Future areas for evaluation of service delivery are outlined. (JDD)
