While community colleges enroll high proportions of disabled students, limited research exists on considerations that college personnel should account for in meeting disabled students’ varied needs and strengths. This article explores the impacts of policies and processes on disabled community college students and presents five policy‐related issues and recommendations on how various community college agents with the power to inform and enact policy, including administrators/staff, researchers, and instructors, can best serve disabled community college students.
