Based on the academic literature, the authors developed, piloted, and administered a social work student needs assessment survey in Fall 2023 as part of a broader program evaluation effort. Findings revealed significant differences between face-to-face and online students in the utilization of disability and mental health services. Recommendations are offered.
Learning Objectives:
At the end of this session, attendees should be able to:
Participants will enhance their understanding of differences between face-to-face and online disability and mental health service utilization among social work students and implications for disability rights
Participants will articulate the importance of assessing student support needs in the current and changing higher education environment
Participants will receive access to the survey and have the opportunity to develop and tailor it to the needs of their program/s and students
