Research of Anctil, Ishikawa, Scott
In conducting the research Anctil, Ishikawa, Scott, (2008), provides a model of academic identity development for college students with learning disabilities from the integrative self-determination themes of persistence, competence, career decision making, and self-realization (Anctil, Ishikawa, Scott, 2003). The participants demonstrated how preservation influences capability, which in turn influences career determination and eventually strengthens self-realization and supports one’s academic character. Additionally, knowledge of one’s learning disability, along with self-advocacy and diverge skills enhanced the students’ ability to obtain academic accommodations in post-secondary settings.
