Each year, the TASH Conference strengthens the disability field by connecting attendees to innovative information and resources, facilitating connections between stakeholders within the disability movement, and helping attendees reignite their passion for an inclusive world. This year’s conference theme, “Gateway to Equity,” explores inclusive communities, schools, and workplaces that support people with disabilities, including those with complex support needs, in living a fair, just, and balanced life.

The reason why I have chosen this topic is because I work as an Instructional Associate for Disability Students Program and Services program Orange Coast College, California. I work closely with students who have learning disabilities and am very passionate about their overall educational success. This presentation will focus on students with learning disabilities and most prominent educational barriers that they come across in post-secondary education. Some of the most dominant ones pertain to: inadequate accommodations provided to students with learning disabilities, stigma, and faculty's responsiveness to accommodation process. The information presented on this poster will be based on the research and personal stories.
