Abstract

Academic accommodations for students experiencing disabilities are increasingly available at postsecondary institutions. More studies of the efficacy of accommodations for student success are warranted, however. Given the increased gender gap in university participation, more focus on the unique impact of gender is also needed. Using a sample of students registered with Access and Inclusion Services with learning disabilities (LD), attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), and combined LD/ADHD at a Canadian undergraduate university (N = 661), we explored the impact of gender on academic performance and accommodation usage. Next, we examined how gender intersected with the impact of academic accommodations on academic performance. Women, on average, demonstrated better academic performance. Academic strategies and assistive technologies were not associated with higher academic performance. However, testing accommodations (extended time and environmental accommodations) were positively associated with academic performance for men with LD or ADHD, but not for the combined group LD/ADHD. For the former two, the more tests accommodated, the higher the academic performance. Furthermore, this gender association was most prominent for students experiencing ADHD. Interpretations and policy recommendations related to these findings are presented.

性别、适应和残疾对加拿大LD和/或ADHD大学生学习成绩的影响
高等教育机构越来越多地为残疾学生提供学术住宿。然而,有必要对住宿对学生成功的影响进行更多的研究。鉴于大学参与中的性别差距越来越大,还需要更多地关注性别的独特影响。我们使用加拿大一所本科大学(N=661)的学习障碍(LD)、注意力缺陷/多动障碍(ADHD)和综合性LD/DADHD学生的样本,探讨了性别对学习成绩和住宿使用的影响。接下来,我们研究了性别与学业适应对学习成绩的影响之间的关系。平均而言,女性的学习成绩更好。学习策略和辅助技术与较高的学习成绩无关。然而,对于患有LD或ADHD的男性,测试适应(延长时间和环境适应)与学习成绩呈正相关,但对于LD/DADHD组合组则没有。对于前两种情况,容纳的测试越多,学习成绩就越高。此外,这种性别关联在患有多动症的学生中最为突出。介绍了与这些调查结果有关的解释和政策建议。
