Legal Challenges and Opportunities
Heyward, Salome
New Directions for Higher Education, n154 p55-64 Sum 2011
For legal issues in the field of disability compliance, this is an exciting time in postsecondary education. The twentieth anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) signals a reawakening of the commitment to provide equal access to individuals with disabilities. This chapter explores three of the compliance issues that will be of significant importance to colleges and universities for the foreseeable future: the Americans with Disabilities Act Amendments; a call for the adoption of a new service model for individuals with psychiatric disabilities; and the federal government's new emphasis on access to technology. (Contains 1 note.)
