“students’ experiences in higher education depended to a great extent on the level of awareness of the members of the staff they came into contact with.” (Tinklin & Hall, 1999)
“Negative attitudes were the single biggest barrier reported by participants” (Hanafin et al., 2007)
“Attitudinal barriers' is recognized widely as an impediment to success of persons with disabilities” (Rao, 2004)

“Faculty at institutions of higher education need to be better informed to improve their attitudes” (Rao, 2004)
“… findings indicate that students and faculty would benefit from, for example a disability awareness campaign aimed at students and faculty to increase interaction and understanding of disability.” (Bruder & Mogro-Wilson, 2010)

I N H O U D 2. Need for awareness…Flemish research (Soetaert,
2011):
“There’s often a lack of understanding, when I say ‘I have autism’, they instantly have an image of a person who’s sitting in the corner of the room. All those prejudices, it’s not nice.”
“That’s not possible, dyslexia doesn’t exist.”

I N H O U D 2. Need for awareness…Flemish research (Soetaert,
2011):
“They see a healthy person, but actually I’m not healthy. (…) I think it would be easier if I had lost a leg, so they can see there is something.”
“I had an attack and I heard her say: “Ah that’s not epilepsy” or “He shows off”. You also get those kind of comments.”

“The map of a nomadic topos is unlike any other map; it is at once map and territory. It is
onrepresentational, which is to say, it does not represent but makes connections and projects new lines of flight. Each concept in the map is also a living circuit of becoming, rather than a dead icon. It is a becoming-map — therefore, one cannot read this map with the idea of a referent; one can only experiment with it, insert oneself into the making of it even as one constructs it.
(Roy, 2003, p.80, cited in Steeves, 2012).
