This study examined the provision, usage, and needs of assistive technology and educational services for students with disabilities in higher education. Data were collected from a questionnaire completed by one hundred and forty undergraduate students with disabilities, who had enrolled in universities located in northern Thailand. The results of this study indicated that educational services provided more access to these students than assistive technology. Furthermore, students with disabilities utilized assistive technology and accessed educational services for different reasons. Additionally, the use and needs from assistive technology were explored for students with each type of disability.
