“…There may also be high expectations on the part of businesses, especially regarding social competence and comprehension of business operations (Edmonds et al, 2021). Most students are accustomed to the informal and lenient educational environment, so making the requisite changes during work placements can be especially difficult for female students with disabilities (Campe, 2021).…”

Work placement learning enhances self-efficacy and work readiness for students. However, students with disabilities often have a different experience with regard to work placements. With a growing number of people with disabilities in universities, it is essential to provide students who have disabilities with an inclusive learning and working environment. Expanding on previous studies that have explored industrial work placement in higher education across different levels of disabilities, this study is contextualised in Nigeria and adopts an integrative literature review approach to critically review and synthesise the literature on student experience, disability, work placement and higher education in the country. This process enables the development of a new theoretical framework and perspective for enhancing the work placement experience of students with disabilities. The study contributes to the existing knowledge regarding work experience, students with disabilities and student experiences in developing countries. It also has practical implications for stakeholders involved in work placements for students with disabilities.

“…Unfortunately, those with disabilities are disproportionately affected by sexual violence. Sexual assault in the United States is a growing issue (Campe, 2020) and is defined as a coercive sexual act, either attempted or completed, between a victim and perpetrator. These unwanted sexual acts can include physical interactions, such as grabbing, fondling, and penetration, or verbal threats (Morgan & Oudekerk, 2019).…”

“…These unwanted sexual acts can include physical interactions, such as grabbing, fondling, and penetration, or verbal threats (Morgan & Oudekerk, 2019). In the United States, there were 734,630 cases of sexual assault in 2018 (Morgan & Oudekerk, 2019), however, sexual assault has had more of an impact on college-aged women and female students with disabilities (Campe, 2020). One in five women have been sexually assaulted while in college (Krebs et al, 2007) and one study estimated that female students with disabilities constitute approximately 40% of college sexual assault cases (Campe, 2020).…”

Among college-aged women, having a disability led to a greater likelihood of being sexually assaulted compared to other common risk factors, such as Greek life association, excessive alcohol use, or drug use (Campe, 2020).…”

The occurrence of sexual assault is common and problematic, especially among those with disabilities. While many other characteristics of the victim, perpetrator, and situation involving a sexual assault have been shown to affect perceptions, only one study has examined the impact of a hypothetical victim with a physical disability. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to explore the effect that a victim and/or perpetrator’s physical disability status has on individuals’ classification of encounters as sexual assault. University students over the age of 18 ( n = 207) completed an anonymous online survey which included reading an ambiguous scenario involving a sexual assault in which either the victim, perpetrator or neither was in a wheelchair. Participants classified the scenario as either representing a sexual assault or not and completed the Illinois Rape Myth Acceptance scale and demographic information. A binary logistic regression model was conducted to examine the effects of conditions, participant gender and RMA score on sexual assault classification. In the scenario with the victim in a wheelchair, 71.6% of participants agreed sexual assault occurred; when the perpetrator was in a wheelchair 58.6% classified the scenario as sexual assault. In the control condition 61.4% agreed sexual assault occurred. Condition was not associated with classification at a statistically significant level; however, the effect sizes indicate participants were more likely to classify sexual assault when the victim was in a wheelchair (OR = 1.41), but less likely to blame a perpetrator in a wheelchair (OR = 0.69) compared to the control condition. Despite a lack of statistical significance, the data show a clear trend away from blaming individuals with disabilities in sexual assault scenarios. These findings can have implications within the legal system where incorrect decisions may be made due to bias based on disability status.

“…The risk of sexual violence, a term we use to describe any form of unwanted sexual contact, is even higher for people who have marginalized identities, such as students who have one or more disabilities. Recent studies have found disproportionately high rates of sexual violence among college students with disabilities (Campe, 2021; Scherer et al, 2013), yet there is little research on how students with disabilities cope with the aftermath of sexual violence while at college, especially pertaining to their disclosure and help-seeking behavior. Much is known about disclosure and help seeking among college survivors in general (see Sabina & Ho, 2014 for review), but few studies have focused on college students with disabilities.…”

Undergraduate students with disabilities represent an important population on college campuses. Yet the incidence of sexual violence and disclosing/reporting of sexual violence among this population is understudied. This exploratory and largely descriptive study uses an intersectional framework to understand the sexual victimization of undergraduate students with disabilities at a large Mid-Atlantic academic institution. The sample consisted of students who completed a sexual violence module ( N = 2,929) as part of a larger campus climate survey. Students with disabilities comprised a smaller sample within this group ( n = 177) and descriptive and chi-square results from both groups of students are reported. Students with disabilities had a statistically significant higher likelihood of sexual violence victimization before coming to campus and while at the university, with much higher rates for precollege victimization than students with no disabilities. Disclosure rates were not different for students across the two groups, though students with disabilities were more likely to utilize formal sources of support, such as campus Title IX offices and mental health services. This study shows support for a strengths-based approach that recognizes that students with disabilities may be more likely to reach out to campus resources. The findings of the study also underscore the need for culturally relevant victim services for students with disabilities. An evaluation of the culture of a university and its environment of openness, sharing, community, and protection (or lack thereof) can be a key point for future approaches to sexual violence on campus.
