Students with psychiatric disabilities are an increasing presence on college and university campuses. However, there is little factual information about the services available to these students in campus disability services offices or the extent to which they use these services. This article reports the results of a survey of disability services offices at colleges and universities in 10 states. Data from 275 schools revealed the number of students with psychiatric disabilities seeking assistance from disability services offices, characteristics of these offices, and the types of services they provide. Survey data also identified barriers to full participation of these students in academic settings. Implications of the study are discussed to inform policy and postsecondary institutional practices with the goal of better serving psychiatrically disabled students to maximize their talents and potential.
患有精神疾病的学生在大学校园里越来越常见。然而，关于校园残疾服务办公室为这些学生提供的服务，以及他们使用这些服务的程度，实际信息却很少。本文报告了对10个州的高校残疾服务办公室的一项调查结果。来自275所学校的数据揭示了向残疾服务办公室寻求帮助的患有精神疾病的学生数量、这些办公室的特点以及它们提供的服务类型。调查数据还确定了这些学生在学术环境中充分参与的障碍。本文讨论了该研究的意义，以指导政策制定和高等院校的实践，目标是更好地服务患有精神疾病的学生，使其才能和潜力得到最大发挥。
