- Summary:
-
Intended for surveying the knowledge of college students and college faculty/staff about the rights and responsibilities of students with disabilities, this survey form and corresponding answer sheets provide 28 questions, their correct responses, and references to laws or literature. Emphasis is on providing information about the provisions of Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act and the Americans with Disabilities Act, which require institutions of higher education to make accommodations and modifications of policy to ensure that students with disabilities have an equal educational opportunity. Also, court decisions concerning these rights are emphasized. Survey questions address issues such as reasonable accommodations, student responsibilities concerning reasonable accommodations, changes in a classroom's location to improve accessibility, provision of an attendant, special provisions for testing, alternative formats for instructional materials, access to the student's diagnostic information, preadmission inquiries concerning a disability, availability of housing options, and situations in which a university/college may refuse admission to students with a disability. A sample survey including student demographic questions is attached. (Contains 13 references.) (DB)
