The Accommodation of University Students with Disabilities Inventory (AUSDI): Assessing American and Mexican Faculty Attitudes toward Students with Disabilities

Abstract

An instrument was constructed to assess faculty attitudes toward university students with disabilities and accommodations in the United States and México. Faculty in the United States were more positive about their professional development and had more positive general assumptions about students with disabilities. Faculty in both countries were very similar in their willingness to accommodate most types of students with disabilities and to become friends with people with disabilities.
