‘Managing’ disability: early experiences of university students with disabilities
Jackie Goode*
University of Nottingham, UK
This article showed the difficulties that students can encounter in their first term of univeristy. Some is due to the ignorance or insensitivity of teaching staff. Often students do not know what to ask for or are reluctant to ask. The stress of settling in at university is made so much harder when a student has to chase up assistance that they need.
