Still, students report that the process itself can be stressful and labor-intensive. The present study used mixed methods to explore relationships between satisfaction with the academic accommodations process and depression and anxiety symptoms in a transdiagnostic but autism-enriched sample of first-semester undergraduate students who sought academic accommodations (n = 46). Findings suggest that 1) satisfaction with how accommodations supported academic achievement, 2) satisfaction with the implementation of accommodations by professors, and 3) accommodations being perceived as more helpful than harmful are associated with depression symptomatology at the end of the semester, after controlling for baseline depression at the beginning of the semester. Qualitatively, themes of 1) challenges related to power imbalance and advocating for oneself, and 2) confusion and difficulties in navigating the system were observed. Thus, the authors find further support for the conceptualization of the academic accommodations process as it currently exists being a double-edged sword - both essential for student success and potentially harmful for mental health, when inefficient or demanding.","PeriodicalId":520318,"journal":{"name":"Journal of postsecondary education and disability","volume":"39 3","pages":"246-261"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2026-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC13592556/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149019341","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

During this challenging developmental stage, mentors and other supportive individuals can facilitate co-regulation processes that help young adults reach self-regulation. This qualitative research identifies and characterizes supportive processes of regulation that graduate student mentors engaged in as part of their mentorship interactions with undergraduate mentees with learning disabilities and attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (LD/ADHD). Participants were part of a larger campus-based study with 52 undergraduate mentees with LD/ADHD and 57 graduate student mentors. Data were transcripts from mentor group meetings (N = 20) discussing LD/ADHD and the mentorship experiences, undergraduate group meetings (N = 13) discussing LD/ADHD experiences and supports, and an instrumental mentor case study. Structural coding was used to identify content related to mentorship experiences; process coding was used to describe the actions and roles undertaken by mentors; content analysis was used to examine relative salience of topics discussed during mentor group meetings. Four themes emerged describing the ways in which mentors acted as co-regulators for mentees including: Fostering Positive Relationships, Guidance Based on a Similar Path, Supporting Strategy Generation, and Supporting Mentees by Setting Limits. Finding highlight key actions and processes for effective co-regulation techniques used by disability-informed mentors, that support the self-regulation practices of undergraduate students with LD/ADHD to reach their educational, career, and personal goals.","PeriodicalId":520318,"journal":{"name":"Journal of postsecondary education and disability","volume":"36 3","pages":"257-275"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11611300/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142776299","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"Returning to the Classroom Following Sport-Related Concussion: Perspectives of College Student Athletes.","authors":"Amanda Acord-Vira, Reagan Curtis, Diana Davis, Steven Wheeler","doi":"","DOIUrl":"","url":null,"abstract":"The purpose of this study was to examine student athletes' perspectives regarding return to learn following sport-related concussion. Data were collected through an online survey from student athletes; a subset of whom had a history of concussion. Student athletes who reported receiving education regarding the effects of concussion on classroom performance were more likely to report a concussion and receive accommodations. Also, student athletes experiencing specific symptoms reported certain accommodations to be more or less beneficial with returning to the classroom following concussion. However, the presence of a return to learn policy at colleges did not improve the odds that student athletes received education on the effects of concussion on academic performance or improve concussion reporting or receiving accommodations while recovering from symptoms of concussion. Returning to the classroom prior to symptom resolution following concussion can have adverse effects on symptom recovery, learning, grades, and ultimately the livelihood of the student athletes. Colleges need to provide education specifically on the effects of concussion on classroom performance to increase the odds of student athletes reporting a suspected concussion to a school official. Student athletes who report a concussion are also more likely to receive accommodations when returning to the classroom that will enhance recovery without exacerbating symptoms.","PeriodicalId":520318,"journal":{"name":"Journal of postsecondary education and disability","volume":"32 1","pages":"35-48"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11928061/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143695071","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
