  • They defined a mental health disability as “having a diagnosed mental health condition that impedes effective learning and/or elicits unnecessary personal, social or environmental barriers that create actual or perceived disablement”
  • Students with these disabilities have higher dropout rates and lower completion rates
  • While online learning can have benefits for students with mental health disabilities, it can also introduce new barriers
  • Central research question: “How do students with a mental health disability describe their learning barriers when studying through online education?”
