Phenomenological analysis reveals accessibility issues and stigma impacting counseling services for special needs students.

Key Points

  • Systemic barriers, including inadequate facilities and lack of accommodations, significantly hinder access to counseling services.
  • Inconsistent counselor expertise leads to varying experiences among students with disabilities, affecting their perceived support.
  • Immediate infrastructural upgrades based on universal design are needed to improve accessibility and services for this population.
