In this year’s Open Doors Report, IIE reported for the first time the numbers of students with disabilities studying abroad. During the 2006-2007 academic year, more 1,000 students with disabilities from 116 U.S. colleges studied abroad for credit, comprising 2.6% of all study abroad students.

From Hovering Mentors to Intrusive Rescue Squads: A Spectrum of Helicopter Parents
Study abroad is all about independence. When issues arise, from sorting out transfer of credit to dealing with a problematic host family, a phone call needs to be made to a student’s home university or program provider to discuss and address the problem. However, today’s “Millenial” students abroad are not always the ones making these calls. Instead, it is often their increasingly involved, protective parents who are taking the initiative.
