Abstract | Disability support (DS) offices provide accommodations for and serve qualified students with disabilities. The overall number of students with disabilities in higher education is increasing, creating a need for high-impact, effective support. Proactive advising is a method of support that provides college students tools for success before crises occur. Most proactive advising for students with disabilities focuses on a narrow population (e.g., students with ADHD or learning disabilities). However, DS offices serve a diverse array of diagnoses. 2-4-8 is a proactive advising model in which all students with documented disabilities meet individually with a DS staff member at least three times in the fall semester to ensure that accommodations, supports, and skills necessary for success in higher education are in place. This study was a preliminary investigation of perceived academic skills before and after participation in 2-4-8. Initial findings indicate that self-reported organization, time management, professor communication, and studying were significantly improved through 2-4-8, and that perceptions of test taking, self-advocacy, and meeting deadlines were slightly, though non-significantly, improved. This study provides promising evidence that 2-4-8 could be a useful resource to provide proactive, quality support that meets the diverse needs of college students with disabilities. (As Provided). |
