多年来，残疾人在科学、技术、工程和数学（STEM）领域的代表性不足。其原因包括对残疾学生的期望值低，接触先决课程有限，缺乏榜样，以及缺乏获得个性化支持的机会。本文确定了与学习障碍和情绪和行为障碍的学生参与STEM大学课程有关的问题，并提供了过渡规划策略，以帮助和鼓励学生为STEM课程做准备并取得成功。一个残疾学生的案例研究，他的目标是追求STEM职业生涯，说明了残疾学生普遍面临的问题。基于研究的规划策略，解决这些问题，帮助确保学生的成功提供。
Persons with disabilities have been underrepresented in the science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) fields for many years. Reasons for this include low expectations for students with disabilities, limited exposure to prerequisite courses, lack of role models, and lack of access to individualized supports. This article identifies the issues related to the participation of students with learning disabilities and emotional and behavioral disorders in STEM college programs and provides transition planning strategies for assisting and encouraging students as they prepare for and succeed in STEM programs. A case study of a student with a disability who had a goal of pursuing a STEM career illustrates the issues commonly faced by students with disabilities. Research-based planning strategies addressing these issues that help ensure student success are provided.
