Most disability services providers know that the population of students with disabilities in higher education is around 11 percent, and most also know that not all of these students will achieve graduation. Of the students who do graduate, generally it may take them a little more time than their peers without disabilities, and they may also achieve lower grades. Although there are many reasons why students with disabilities may struggle to succeed in higher education, one reason is that they do not self‐advocate.
