ABSTRACT

This study aims to investigate disabled students’college preparatory preparation and needs. The study enrolled 404 students with disabilities who have successfully enrolled in universities through college preparation in special schools, special classes, and regular high schools. We investigated a range of explanatory variables that might affect disabled students’college entrance: the determinants of majors, preparation period, information gathering, support providers, connectivity with school curriculum, private education, support programs, and difficulties in preparation for college. We also examined the needs for supporting college entrance. Results showed different experiences and difficulties for students based on disability. In terms of college entrance support programs, students with visual and hearing impairment and physical disabilities required the highest level of admission consulting; those with developmental disabilities required a pre-college experience camp the most. Support policies that should be initially provided for college entrance also differed: students with visual impairment requested information on college entrance and adjustment training for integrated living; those with hearing impairment and physical and developmental disabilities requested information on college entrance. To improve preparation for college entrance, visual impaired students requested mandatory enforcement of guidance on college entrance, operation of a web site with information on college entrance, and compulsory information access the most. Students with hearing impairment and physical disabilities requested mandatory enforcement of guidance on college entrance, while those with developmental disabilities requested operation of a website with integrated information on college entrance and compulsory information access the most.
