I'm wondering if there's any statistics on disabled students vs. non-disabled students going on to higher education in US?

Also, any data on students with learning disabilities in higher ed?

I looked online, but there doesn't seem to be anything? It just talk about how to push students into higher ed. or some other countries?

Yup there are stats.
 
I remember reading that only about 12% of disabled students go on to college. I am pretty sure that the stats are higher for dhh students. Everything I've ever read has said that dhh students go on to college in much higher numbers then a student with other disabilites. Can't remmy a concrete stat offhand.
When you mention LD are you talking about "slow learner" LD or more like dyslexia or ADD style LD? There is a spectrum of functioning in the LD world. By slow learner LD, I mean the type of kid who has an IQ too high to be classfied as being mildly intellectucally disabled, but by interacting with them, you can tell something's a bit "off", like they don't exactly have typical intellectucal fucntioning.
Dyslexia and ADD kinds of students are the most likely to be seen in post seconadary programs They do end up in all sorts of programs.
Are you dhh and LD? You may want to look into Gally or NTID.

Hi deafdyke. I tried to find stats like that online, but somehow, I didn't get the results I want. But I'll try again.

I would think all spectrum of LD, when I mean LD.

And I asked this question in case someone else might know where to find the statistics on a reputable website in case I missed something. This is the data I'm looking for because we need to give the numbers in the non-profit pitch competition we are entering for our website idea and development.
 
You're in college. You should be able to access researches on campus (it is not free at home). Look it up there. Or try your local library.

most people in my LD english class (They considered deafness as LD in my school because of delay English I was fine on other subjectsl), end up going to a two year community college for a career certificate or Associate degree, Some go to beauty school or trade school or no school at all. Very few end up with bachleor degree or above. BUT it is the same thing for people who don't have LD.

She wasn't talking about that. And I still haven't seen any latest report on statistic of deaf now that we are in the cochlear implant generation, especially Socioeconomic status not associated with access to cochlear implants <---- because of that, I'm afraid that the statistic of deaf will still be stubbornly stuck at the same level. Which is just like the hearing aid generations -- It does seem that people in higher socioeconomic have really good results with whatever technologies and method is thrown at them (superstars).

Check the federal dept. of ed website. Or by state if you want it broken down.

Very astute observation. Plus, very often the operational definition given to the variable of success is limited to that which the researcher considers to be success and that creates a limited and misleading set of stats.

BTW...you need to name the source of that statement. Obviously, it came from a CI organization.:lol:

Here is the introductory post from that poster. I don't think you can count on it coming from a CI website or that the poster even knows what they are saying. They seem to have a rudimentary grasp of English.

Perhaps. The statement just sounds hauntingly familiar.:lol: Particularly the part about revolutionizing the way that deaf kids learn language.
