Understanding Our Student Subpopulations An Overview

This overview provides insights into various student subpopulations, including neurodiversity, minorities and women, first-generation students, English language learners, veterans and military, and students with science/math/nature anxiety and specific learning disabilities. It includes information on the categories and incidence rates of neurodiverse conditions such as dyslexia, dyscalculia, attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), autism spectrum disorder (ASD), and specific language impairment. The description also highlights the incidence rates of women, people of color, Hispanic, Black, Asian/Pacific Islander, Native American, and LGBT students, as well as first-generation students, English language learners, veterans and military, and students with disabilities.

  1. Understanding Our Student Subpopulations An Overview

  2. Some Major Subpopulations Neurodiversity Minorities and Women First Generation English Language Learners Veterans and Military Science/Math/Nature Anxiety

  3. Neurodiversity - Specific Learning Disabilities and Conditions Wide IQ range Specific (not general) learning disabilities ~10% of population (Butterworth and Kovas, 2013)

  4. Neurodiversity - Categories and Incidence (Butterworth and Kovas, 2013) • Dyslexia – difficulty with reading, in most cases from deficit in linking letters with speech 4- 8%

  5. Neurodiversity - Categories and Incidence (Butterworth and Kovas, 2013) • Dyslexia – difficulty with reading, in most cases from deficit in linking letters with speech 4- 8% • Dyscalculia – slower and less accurate counting, calculation, and application of other arithmetical principles 3.5- 6.5%

  6. Neurodiversity - Categories and Incidence (Butterworth and Kovas, 2013) • Dyslexia – difficulty with reading, in most cases from deficit in linking letters with speech 4- 8% • Dyscalculia – slower and less accurate counting, calculation, and application of other arithmetical principles 3.5- 6.5% • Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) – inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity causing distress or impairment 3- 6%

  7. Neurodiversity - Categories and Incidence (Butterworth and Kovas, 2013) • Dyslexia – difficulty with reading, in most cases from deficit in linking letters with speech 4- 8% • Dyscalculia – slower and less accurate counting, calculation, and application of other arithmetical principles 3.5- 6.5% • Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) – inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity causing distress or impairment 3- 6% • Austism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) – impaired social interaction and communication, and repetitive stereotyped behavior 1%

  8. Neurodiversity - Categories and Incidence (Butterworth and Kovas, 2013) • Dyslexia – difficulty with reading, in most cases from deficit in linking letters with speech 4- 8% • Dyscalculia – slower and less accurate counting, calculation, and application of other arithmetical principles 3.5- 6.5% • Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) – inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity causing distress or impairment 3- 6% • Austism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) – impaired social interaction and communication, and repetitive stereotyped behavior 1% • Specific Language Impairment – significant deficits in expressive or receptive language including difficulties with meaning of words, and pragmatics 7%

  9. Neurodiversity - Co-Occurrence and Treatment (Butterworth and Kovas, 2013) • Examples: • Dyslexia and Dyscalculia 23-49% • ADHD and Dyslexia 33-45% • ADHD and Dyscalculia 11% • Strongest presenting condition treated

  10. Women and Minorities - Incidence • Women 57% (AAAC, 2013) • People of color 48%(AAAC, 2013) • Hispanic 18% • Black 15% • Asian/Pacific Islander 6% • Native American 1% • Other/Unknown 9% • LGBT ~ 5% (LeVay, 2011)

  11. Other Subpopulations - Incidence • First Generation 40% (AACC, 2013) • English Language Learners 15%(CCCSE, 2010) • Veterans (3%) and Military (AACC, 2013) • Science/Math (17%)/Nature Anxiety (Ashcraft et.al., 2007) • Students with Disabilities 12%(AACC, 2013)
