In 1999-2000, for example, women accounted for 0.9%(males 1.6%) of undergraduates with a declared major in Physical Sciences and 0.7% (males0.9%) in Math. The largest disparity were reported in Computer/Information Science with 5.6%(males 12.6%) and Engineering with 1.6% (males 10.8%) (1).Kondrick (8) conducted an extensive review of literature in which she examined the under-representation of women in PSTEM.

These barriers stem from both institutional factorssuch as lack of faculty awareness of disabilities and disability services, inaccessible facilities,and inadequate disabilities services and personal factors such as lack of student disclosure,stigma, feelings of “otherness,” and feelings of inadequacy [4] [5] [6] [7].
