Abstract
Currently, effective ways to connect high school and university are being sought in supporting students with disabilities. There are various differences between high school and university life, and these differences cause difficulties for university students with disabilities. Clarifying the difficulties caused by the differences between high school and university will be useful in considering a smooth connection between high school and university in the future. The importance of ”classes” in the lives of university students is significant. Therefore, the purpose of this paper is to organize the differences between high school and university from the viewpoint of supporting students with disabilities, and to present what difficulties may arise in the classroom due to these differences. The differences between high school and university were described by focusing on the timetable, classroom, homeroom, textbook and blackboard. Based on the above, the following issues are discussed: syllabus description, improvement of the basic environment of universities, implementation of preliminary improvement measures, and self-advocacy skills, which are necessary for students with disabilities to study smoothly at universities. Finally, recommendations were made for effective high school-university collaboration.
