The document summarizes the results of a comparative study between the UK and partner countries (Bulgaria, Greece, Turkey) on the experiences of students with disabilities in post-secondary education. There were significant differences found between the UK and partner countries in the areas of disclosure, self-advocacy, student-centered accommodations, and knowledge of rights and support for skill development. For example, a higher percentage of UK students disclosed their disability before starting their course compared to students in partner countries. The results indicate needs for improved support around disclosure, negotiating accommodations, self-advocacy training, advice on rights and equipment needs.
