Understanding Our Student Subpopulations

This overview explores major subpopulations of students, including neurodiverse, minorities, women, first-generation, English language learners, veterans, and science/math/nature anxious students. It highlights the incidence and categories of specific learning disabilities, co-occurrences, and the incidence of women, minorities, first-generation, English language learners, veterans, science/math/nature anxious students, and students with disabilities.

  1. Understanding Our Student Subpopulations An Overview

  2. Some Major Subpopulations • Neurodiverse • Minorities and Women • First Generation • English Language Learners • Veterans and Military • Science/Math/Nature Anxious

  3. Neurodiversity - Specific Learning Disabilities and Conditions • Specific learning disabilities ~10% of population (Butterworth and Kovas, 2013) • Likely higher incidence at 2YCs

  4. Specific Learning DisabilitiesCategories and Incidence • Dyslexia – difficulty with reading, in most cases from deficit in linking letters with speech 4- 8% (Butterworth and Kovas, 2013)

  5. Specific Learning DisabilitiesCategories and Incidence • Dyslexia – difficulty with reading, in most cases from deficit in linking letters with speech 4- 8% • Dyscalculia – slower and less accurate counting, calculation, and application of other arithmetical principles 3.5- 6.5% (Butterworth and Kovas, 2013)

  6. Specific Learning DisabilitiesCategories and Incidence • Dyslexia – difficulty with reading, in most cases from deficit in linking letters with speech 4- 8% • Dyscalculia – slower and less accurate counting, calculation, and application of other arithmetical principles 3.5- 6.5% • Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) – inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity causing distress or impairment 3- 6% (Butterworth and Kovas, 2013)

  7. Specific Learning DisabilitiesCategories and Incidence • Dyslexia – difficulty with reading, in most cases from deficit in linking letters with speech 4- 8% • Dyscalculia – slower and less accurate counting, calculation, and application of other arithmetical principles 3.5- 6.5% • Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) – inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity causing distress or impairment 3- 6% • Austism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) – impaired social interaction and communication, and repetitive stereotyped behavior 1% (Butterworth and Kovas, 2013)

  8. Specific Learning DisabilitiesCategories and Incidence • Dyslexia – difficulty with reading, in most cases from deficit in linking letters with speech 4- 8% • Dyscalculia – slower and less accurate counting, calculation, and application of other arithmetical principles 3.5- 6.5% • Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) – inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity causing distress or impairment 3- 6% • Austism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) – impaired social interaction and communication, and repetitive stereotyped behavior 1% • Specific Language Impairment – significant deficits in expressive or receptive language including difficulties with meaning of words, and pragmatics 7% (Butterworth and Kovas, 2013)

  9. Specific Learning DisabilitiesCo-Occurrence and Treatment • Examples: • Dyslexia and Dyscalculia 23-49% • ADHD and Dyslexia 33-45% • ADHD and Dyscalculia 11% • Strongest presenting condition treated (Butterworth and Kovas, 2013)

  10. Women and Minorities - Incidence • Women 57% (AAAC, 2013) • People of color 48%(AAAC, 2013) • Hispanic 18% • Black 15% • Asian/Pacific Islander 6% • Native American 1% • Other/Unkown 9% • LGBT ~ 5% (LeVay, 2011)

  11. Other Subpopulations - Incidence First Generation 40% (AACC, 2013) English Language Learners 15%(CCCSE, 2010) Veterans (3%) and Military (AACC, 2013) Science/Math (17%)/Nature Anxiety (Ashcraft et.al., 2007) Students with Disabilities 12%(AACC, 2013)
