A New Theoretical Approach to Postsecondary Student Disability: Disability-Diversity (Dis)Connect Model
Aquino, Katherine C.
Journal of Postsecondary Education and Disability, v29 n4 p317-330 Win 2016
Disability is often viewed as an obstacle to postsecondary inclusion, but not a characteristic of student diversity. Additionally, current theoretical frameworks isolate disability from other student diversity characteristics. In response, a new conceptual framework, the Disability-Diversity (Dis)Connect Model (DDDM), was created to address disability as a multifaceted aspect of student diversity.
