| Sumario: | Students with learning disabilities (LD) transitioning to colleges and universities continues to rise. This research is from the shared experiences of 10 students with learning disabilities during their junior and senior years as they prepared to graduate and transition from college. Over the course of an academic year, students shared stories of their academic adjustments in the college environment through the lens of student development theory by participating in focus group and semi-structured individual interviews. Hadley's (2009) updated version of Chickering and Reisser's (1993) and Chickering's (1969) stages of developing purpose and establishing integrity that focuses on the experiences of students with learning disabilities provides the perspective of the students' reported experiences and views. Developing purpose assess how the student conceptualizes and prioritizes their career goals. Establishing integrity examines how the student's beliefs and values guide their career plans and goals (Hadley. 2009: Chickering & Reisser. 1993; and Chickering. 1969). |
