Product Description:

Students with disabilities have higher rates of attention problems than those without disabilities. This can impede their academic success and postsecondary transition, but these effects have not been well-studied. Understanding these effects is especially critical among high school girls with disabilities who additionally experience significant other barriers to college enrolment. Consistent with our predictions, attention problems were associated with a lower likelihood of applying to college.
