This paper summarizes research on the attitudes of college faculty and staff toward students with disabilities and then offers some practical approaches for improving these attitudes. Research is reported which has identified factors associated with different attitudes. These include previous contact with individuals with disabilities, gender, intellectual discipline, level of information about individuals with disabilities, and terminology used to describe individuals with disabilities. Suggestions for improving attitudes focus on increasing faculty awareness about legal requirements, disability types, strategies for working with students with disabilities, and accommodations to increase independence and productivity. Examples are given from Project DO-IT (Disabilities, Opportunities, Internetworking, and Technology) at the University of Washington. This project includes presentations to faculty; opportunities for faculty to teach students with disabilities; and distribution of publications, videotapes, and electronic resources. A sample text for a faculty brochure is attached. (Contains 16 references.) (DB)
