According to national statistics, 11% of higher education students have a disability (NCES, 2012). This means at UConn, 3,352 students have a disability (based on Fall 2013 enrollment). New, emerging populations of students with complex needs, who often require multiple accommodations and services across UConn, will continue to increase over the next several years. These include students with psychiatric disabilities, students with Autism Spectrum Disorder, students with multifaceted chronic health conditions, and military veterans.
