Abstract: Article discusses the importance of science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) education for students with disabilities (SWD) through a focus on postsecondary education. Discussion includes an overview of the National Science Foundation’s Research in Disabilities Education (RDE) program, of technology use by SWD in STEM, and of the rigorous research designs needed to examine which technology interventions have the highest impact on high school and undergraduate degree completion rates for SWD in STEM. Studies are needed to examine how technologies advance undergraduate SWD in their STEM degree programs, contribute to graduation, and facilitate successful transitions to graduate STEM study and/or the workforce. This body of research contributes to the success of postsecondary implementation programs for SWD in STEM, resulting in the graduation of more SWD in STEM fields and advancing the country’s science, engineering, and technology competitiveness in the world.
