Disability & Society 2015; 30(10): 1505-1520Summary: Policy-makers have articulated the right to education for individuals with
disabilities. Nevertheless, students with disabilities remain underrepresented in
universities. Students in Health and Human Service (HHS) programs experience
many unique challenges that disadvantage them, such as having to complete practicums.
In-depth interviews were conducted with 12 students in HHS programs
who identified as having a disability to explore the challenges that they experienced.
We found that students had to legitimate their ability to perform the roles
of student and future practitioner. This legitimization process involved three components:
negotiation of the disability label, selective disclosure, and advocacy.
Our findings demonstrate how subtle and insidious forms of marginalization and
stigmatization work to create barriers for students with disabilities.
