Abstract:
Little research exists that focuses on the transition experiences of students with disabilities (SWDs) from high school to college and scholarly investigation of science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) pathways for neurodivergent students is emergent. The purpose of this current study is to better understand the experiences and perspectives of college freshman with disabilities, following participation in a STEM-focused high school-to-college transition program. Participants in this study completed a yearlong STEM-based college transition program in 2023, followed by a follow up survey and semi-structured interview during their freshman year in college. Results outline participant successes and challenges related to multiple college and career readiness factors. Most participants experienced a successful transition to their first semester in college, continued engagement in STEM-related career development, and several social and extracurricular activities. Future practice and research recommendations are provided.
