Soldiers have returned from serving in Iraq and Afghanistan with posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and traumatic brain injuries (TBIs) and have enrolled in post-secondary education in large numbers, especially at community colleges because of flexible course scheduling. The problem explored in this study was the need for 1 community college to have better information regarding classroom needs for student-veterans with PTSD or a TBI. The purpose of this study was to explore the perceptions of both student-veterans with PTSD or a TBI and faculty concerning classroom accommodations for student-veterans at the study site. Knowles' theory of the adult learner served as the conceptual framework for this qualitative case study. Data collection consisted of individual interviews with student-veterans and faculty. Data analysis included coding, theme development, member checking, and triangulation. The results of this study revealed that not all student-veterans want or are aware of classroom accommodations. Student-veteran participants did express a need for a designated person on campus and available mentors. Student-veterans indicated that they benefit from PowerPoint presentations, video recordings, and lectures. Faculty participants indicated they are not aware of student-veterans if the students do not self-identify; faculty were eager to understand how to better serve this student population. Results of this study may lead to positive social change because, with faculty development, faculty will have a better understanding of student-veterans' classroom needs and can provide student-veterans with appropriate classroom accommodations.
