Managing Student Disability
Compliance
Student
disability claims are increasing and the nature of these claims
are dramatically changing. Therefore, it is expedient that
college disability services offices are equipped with the
necessary information to comply with current federal law.
Managing Student Disability Compliance is a reference manual
designed to educate and inform institutional administrators and
faculty about the current state of the law as it relates to
disabled students.
Managing
Student Disability Compliance provides a detailed analysis of
federal disability requirements for an institution under both
the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, Section 504 and subsequent
obligations under the Americans With Disabilities Act of 1990.
Both of these statutes requires that institutions determine
whether the student is disabled, whether the disability limits a
major life activity, and what, if any, accommodation is
reasonable. Determining the nature of the disability and the
appropriateness of the accommodation can be challenging and
frustrating. However, Managing Student Disability Compliance
offers practical solutions, which benefit both the disabled
students and the institution.
Managing
Student Disability Compliance is a valuable reference tool to
aid college decision makers in developing, implementing and
managing disability services programs and interpreting
disability policy and compliance obligations. This manual
focuses on the following topics:
-
Identifying
the Disabled
-
Assessment
of Disability Claims
-
Admissions
-
Retention
and Dismissal of Decisions
-
Academic
Accommodations
-
Nonacademic
