  3. Abstract Faculty attitudes and value priorities regarding interaction with students with access needs are particularly influential at the higher education level in shaping policies that foster accessibility-friendly environments. Results of a study of such attitudes among postsecondary health education faculty, discussed at Accessing Higher Ground 2007, are compared with results from replication of the study with faculty in the disciplines of education and library science. Session participants collaborate to formulate an action plan of goals and objectives to promote faculty support for accessibility and universal design initiatives at their institutions. Perlow-ATIA February 2008

  4. Learning Objectives Via in-session collaboration with colleagues, participants learn about : 1. Factors present in higher education environments that increase the significance of faculty attitudes toward students with access needs. 2. Comparison of results from cross-disciplinary investigation of faculty attitudes toward students with access needs in higher education. 3. New approaches to promote the success of accessibility and universal design initiatives in higher education. Perlow-ATIA February 2008

  5. Background of Studies • Institutional Review Board-approved • Informed consent: adult age 18 or older and faculty member in discipline; convenience samples 3. Primarily U.S.-based Higher Education Faculty • 2006-2007: Health Education/Public Health (n=30) • 2007-present: Education/Library-Information Science (as of February 2, 2008: n=14) Perlow-ATIA February 2008

  6. Who: Why These Faculties? 1. Health Education: Accessibility key component: Health Literacy (U.S. DHHS, 2000), Health Educators’ Areas of Responsibility (National Commission for Health Ed. Credentialing, 2008) 2. Education: Accessibility, Universal Design for Learning mandated: U.S. federal legislation for pre-K-12 public education (NCLB, 2002; IDEA 2004). 3. Library and Information Science: a. School librarians are teachers. b. Equity of Access: Key Action Area (American Library Association, 2008) Perlow-ATIA February 2008

  7. Background: What and Why • What: • Faculty Attitude / Awareness Assessment: • Accessibility, Universal Design, Universal Design for Learning • People/Students with Access Needs [PWAN/SWAN], veterans with access needs • Why: • To improve attitudes, awareness: find disconnect, value priorities that predict attitudes, behaviors (Rohan, 2000). • Class Empowerment • Strengthen Culture of Accessibility in Higher Education Perlow-ATIA February 2008

  8. Background: Justification Accessibility in Health Education: 1. Ethics of Profession (NCHEC, 2008) 2. Healthy People 2010 (U.S. DHHS, 2000, 2008) - within Major Goals:“increase quality & years of healthy life; eliminate health disparities” - PWAN: Major Area of Concern - Health Literacy-“capacity to obtain”=Access 3. Accessibility critical for health outcomes (Lloyd..., 2006) 4. PWAN > 20% U.S. pop. (U.S. Bureau of Census, 2003) 5. U.S. by 2010  70 million=PWAN (Wu & Green, 2000) 6. PWAN: major health disparities (McCarthy, et al., 2006) 7. U.S. PWAN=43% of Medicaid costs (Carbaugh…2006) Perlow-ATIA February 2008

  9. Background: Justification Accessibility in Education and Library/Info. Science 8.21st century: PWAN = greater proportion of higher education student population (11%): both face-to-face and online classrooms (Foss, 2002; Lewis & Farris, 1999; U.S. Dept. of Education, 2006). 9. By 2030, older adults, 65 years or older will have grown from 12.4% to 20% of the U.S. population; increase in no. of older college students (Kressley, 2002; Silverstein, 2001) 10. In U.S.: IDEA, P.L. 108-446: Inclusion (1975-present) 11. More SWAN in pre-K-12 (U.S. Dept. of Ed., 2007) 12. SWAN served under IDEA, P.L. 108-446 graduating with H.S. Diplomas = potential college applicants and enrollees (U.S. Dept. of Ed. OSEP Fall 2005/2006 data) 13.2006->2016:15% growth sp.ed. teachers(USDOL,2007) Perlow-ATIA February 2008

  10. Background: Justification 14. Increasing number of Students with Access Needs. Graph depicts increase in students, 1976-2006, receiving services under IDEA 2004-pre-K-12 U.S. public education ((U.S. Dept. of Education, 2007). Perlow-ATIA February 2008

  11. Background: Justification 15. Students served under IDEA, P.L. 108-446 (SWAN) are graduating with High School Diplomas  higher education/college applicants & enrollees (U.S. Dept. of Ed.

  13. Background: Justification Accessibility in Higher Education 17.For re-accreditation, Higher Education institutions are being called upon to document institutional effectiveness and to be accountable for students’ learning: “Students Are Central to Success.” See: U.S. Department of Education. Commission on the Future of Higher Education: Final Report (September 26, 2006): http://www.ed.gov/about/bdscomm/list/hiedfuture/reports/final-report.pdf For example, see: http://www.twu.edu/iep/sacs/ Perlow-ATIA February 2008

  14. Background: Justification Accessibility throughout the Lifespan 18.PWAN = class anyone can join at any time; virtually all people do (Shapiro, 1994) 19. Accessibility = boundary-free diversity issue affecting all people throughout the world across all categories of diversity of age, gender, sexual orientation, ethnicity, class, and economic status. 20. Accessibility = universal issue, gateway to health literacy…Global Climate/Aging … 9/11 … Katrina ... Tsunami ... Darfur…Famine … AIDS …gun violence ... civil wars ... Afghanistan/Iraq...

Participant 6: “I chair campus-wide commission on disabilities which sponsors training sessions for faculty & staff. I studied special education during UG & MS programs." Participant 8: "I didn’t have enough students with accessibility needs to know enough or be very interested in training." Participant 9: [Question] #11 [“Students with accessibility needs are ___ to successfully complete my department’s program”] - I teach in 2 departments - one is Nursing - accessibility needs can make it very difficult to perform the necessary skills - the other department’s program does not have these skill requirements - my answer is an "average” between the two.

Participant 19: Question 8 is not the clearest to understand. [“I have had ___ experience in having students with accessibility needs disrupt my classes.”” Participant 23: “Article in NEA flyer just released this month on this topic – just read it!” Participant 24: "I’m not really sure what “universal design for learning” is. This the timid endorsement." Participant 29: “I am always happy to participate in research, so put me on a list if you want to. From my perspective, the big question is how do we get students who don’t necessarily need assistive tech, but who could potentially benefit to some degree, to ask for help. Thanks!"

The UNIVARIATE Procedure Fitted Distribution for INTEREST AREA = Health Ed The UNIVARIATE Procedure Fitted Distribution for INTEREST AREA = LIS LIS Participant Comments Participant 39 [LIS]: continued: Additional Comments: “see attached” [attachment of separate page [stapled] and typewritten comments: “Some of the survey questions were difficult to answer because the topic (“accessibility needs”) is very broad and covers a large spectrum. When I started answering the survey, I was thinking in terms of physical ability, and didn’t consider people with differing emotional/ mental abilities to be considered as well In my teaching experience, I have had very few students with physical disabilities, and those that I have had were generally sufficiently motivated to complete the program, and find jobs. I have also had a number of students with emotional difficulties, whom I have thought were going to have a very hard time finding jobs because they were (to my mind) far less adaptable than students with physical disabilities.” Perlow-ATIA 2008

  48. Comparison/Issues of Interest 1. When asked positively, participants … 2. LIS somewhat more experience, also more negative experiences than Health Educators. 3. Both Health and LIS Educators: demonstrate interest in positive PWAN/SWAN interaction. 4. Both disciplines: interest in learning more about access issues: need to be very interested. 5. Both Health/LIS Educators should be receptive. Perlow-ATIA February 2008

  49. The UNIVARIATE Procedure Fitted Distribution for INTEREST AREA = Health Ed The UNIVARIATE Procedure Fitted Distribution for INTEREST AREA = LIS Comparison/Issues of Interest 6. Both Health Ed./LIS Educators: lack of confidence in college students with access needs to succeed, particularly in entering profession. 7. Impact of different accessibility support systems in U.S. pre-K-12 [21] (IDEA/Sec. 504/ NCLB, transition services) vs. higher education (Sec. 504/The A.D.A.): future convergence? 8. Impact of institutional effectiveness initiatives. 9. Need to positively change perceptions. How? Perlow-ATIA February 2008

  50. The UNIVARIATE Procedure Fitted Distribution for INTEREST AREA = Health Ed The UNIVARIATE Procedure Fitted Distribution for INTEREST AREA = LIS Research Agenda • Participant Recruitment: Need for more participants: LIS, especially Education Faculty. • Expand analysis: multivariate/factor analysis. • Examination of confounding factors, such as effect of [length of] IRB consent forms. • Demographic data? • Replication of studies in more disciplines. • Advocacy/research to promote successful PWAN outcomes in higher education, careers.
