Examining differences in perceptions of students' communication with professors: A comparison of students with and without disabilities

Abstract

Persons with disabilities are often treated differently from persons without disabilities. This differential treatment is often based in the stigma associated with disabilities. The present study investigated communication between students with and without disabilities and their instructors. Participants reported how understood they felt, how similar to their instructor they felt, and evaluated their instructors' communication competence. Additionally, participants reported their willingness to communicate with professors and evaluated the appropriateness of 28 accommodations students with disabilities may request from instructors. Results indicated that students with disabilities perceived their interactions with their instructors somewhat differently than students without disabilities.
