      ab: As a result of current legislation and labor market trends, the number of students with disabilities has risen to 17% students attending postsecondary education programs [42]. It is well documented that students with disabilities often experience limited access to and success within postsecondary education programs, which subsequently limits their employment. Understanding the educational supports and accommodations needed by students with disabilities to progress and succeed in postsecondary programs appears to be of critical importance. To address this need, the National Center for the Study of Postsecondary Educational Supports (NCSPES) at the University of Hawaii at Manoa completed a national survey of educational support provision. The focus of this study was on the provision of targeted (types of supports & frequency of provision) educational supports for students with disabilities. Survey methods and statistical analyses were used to describe the range and nature of educational supports provided for students with disabilities. Specific areas of support provision were explored, including the role of assistive technology, special learning centers, and the transfer of supports from educational settings to employment. The findings provide a national foundation of information regarding the provision of educational supports for students with disabilities in a diverse range of postsecondary education settings.
