The subjective experiences of students with invisible disabilities at a historically disadvantaged university

Abstract

Despite policies that promote inclusivity of students with various challenges, students with invisible disabilities at higher learning institutions may encounter various levels of stigma and marginalisation. This primarily stems from a lack of awareness about what invisible disabilities encompass, and very importantly, how they affect those who live with them.This study explored the subjective experiences of students with invisible disabilities at a historically disadvantaged university.
