Abstract

Research on students with learning disabilities in higher education tends to emphasize their
challenges and lower performance, which increases the stigma around this type of disability and
its role for individuals and organizations. The goal of this study was to promote a more
constructive view of what learning disabilities can provide to individuals and organizations by
investigating not only the negatives, but also the potential benefits of learning disabilities and
how certain contexts can enhance these benefits or buffer some of their negative consequences.
Overall, this study sheds light on an under-researched topic by looking for new ways to help
individuals with learning disabilities succeed in higher education and beyond.
