Universities are ill equipped to handle the specialized nature of students with psychiatric disabilities. Due to the increasing numbers of students with both identified and unidentified psychiatric disabilities, this case study provides guidance through a description and application of the Behavioral Ecological Strengths-Focused (BES) Model. Use of the BES Model assists administrators and faculty to simultaneously support students with psychiatric disabilities while maintaining standards for gatekeeping required in master's level programs.
