Perceptions and Experiences of Antipsychotic Use and Discontinuation Among Young Adults Who Completed a First-Episode Psychosis Program
Antipsychotic medications (APMs) are one of the frontline treatments in First Episode Psychosis (FEP) programs. However, in recent years, debates have emerged regarding the risk-benefit ratio of APMs, leading to more open and frequent discussions about discontinuation. The purpose of this study was to explore the lived experiences of APM use and decision-making among young adults with FEP participating in NAVIGATE, an FEP program. Semi-structured…
Academic staff members’ engagement in accessible higher education for students with disabilities
Academic staff members (academics) are central social agents in providing accessible higher education (AHE) to students with disabilities (SWD). The literature demonstrates gaps between academics’ positive attitudes and self-efficacy to apply AHE. This study explores factors explaining their willingness and self-efficacy to provide AHE through the lens of organizational theories on work engagement. The 210 academics recruited from 10 universities…
Supporting the development of students with disabilities in higher education: Access, Stigma, Identity, and Power
Over the years, the evolution of student development theories has paved the way to include diverse students, including students with disabilities (SWD).

To fill this gap, the current study applies the three waves of student development theories and critical disability theory to analyze and understand how SWD perceive and experience dis…

We used primarily descriptive statistics and also compared activities relating to nondisabled and disabled friends and groups. The findings indicated that the 172 persons with disabilities who…
How do adults with intellectual disabilities use Facebook
Social networking sites have potential to support social relationships and self-determination of people with intellectual disabilities.

To help address this need, we conducted an online research survey to reach adults with intellectual disabilities who use Facebook and to include their voices about their online experiences, challenges, and preferences. We used mixed methods for …
The Characteristics of Unsuccessful E-Mentoring Relationships for Youth With Disabilities
Recently, researchers have focused on the benefits of e-mentoring for young people with disabilities, such as greater access to sources of information and support. Relatively few researchers have explored the problem of unsuccessful e-mentoring relationships, i.e., mentors and mentored individuals who withdraw from an e-mentoring program before completion. Our findings promote understanding of the dynamics of unsuccessful vs. successful e-mentori…
