Literature review
|
In the first year of the project, we reviewed over 25,000 articles to find existing interventions and studies of disability in higher education. We will publish our findings in various ways on our site and in outreach activities.

Research Highlights
|
Research "highlights" are quick easy-to-read summaries of new research of interest to professionals working in disability services offices. These are published in both the AHEAD Hub newsletter and in the Research Highlights area of the NCCSD Clearinghouse.
|
Research briefs |
We are interested in finding ways for professionals to apply research in practice. We are producing a series of research briefs -- our first one is available now, focusing on national databases on college students with disabilities.

Original research |
We are conducting two large-scale research projects, in collaboration with partners at the University of Massachusetts-Boston. The first study began in the Spring of 2017 -- a national needs assessment to identify what people think the Center should be doing, and what higher education needs in order to be more welcoming and accessible for students with disabilities.
In the Fall of 2018, we will begin collecting national data about disability services offices on campuses across the United States, making that information available to the public. We also hope to use existing federal data sets to learn more about students with disabilities, and each member of our research team also does individual research and writing on topics of interest to them. |
