Question ONE
Text A
Students with disabilities have not been fully welcomed in higher education in spite of litigation, court cases, and positive shifts in public perceptions. The transition from high school to college is challenging for students without disabilities. Students with disabilities often get overlooked by their institution and overwhelmed during this transition, contributing to an achievement gap for these students.
Question TWO.
Text B
A study by Skobba, Moorman, Meyers, White and Tiller (2023) argues that research that focuses on college students with foster care or youth homelessness experience is limited, but the available studies suggest that housing precarity is a challenge (Kinarsky, 2017; Strayhorn, 2021). The extent of housing problems among young adults who experienced foster care or homelessness is not well understood and is likely underestimated (Fowler et al., 2009; Gupton, 2017; Strayhorn, 2021). While there is a growing recognition of and support for the needs of students who have experienced foster care or homelessness, limited resources often mean that students are left to fend for themselves (Crutchfield et al., 2020; Huang et al., 2018; Klitzman, 2018).
