Prepared by volunteers representing a wide range of interests and experience and including students with disabilities, this guide provides basic information about support services available to students with disabilities at public and private postsecondary education institutions in the State of Washington. The guide may also serve as a resource for family members, school counselors and others who assist students in furthering their education. The first section presents general information, discussing students' rights to appropriate education, giving basic rules for managing the transition to college life, charting effects of functional limitations in the academic setting, and providing a planning checklist for new students. Institutional profiles are presented in the second section, covering vocational-technical institutes (5), community colleges (27), and 4-year colleges and universities (16). Information is included on contact person, address, telephone, enrollment (total number and number of disabled students). Each entry also includes a brief overview of the program and its highlights. The third section presents a glossary of common characteristics of disability and types of limitations connected with each, disability law terms, and terms used in this guide. (CB)
