    http://www.cityu.edu/student/special_needs.aspx
    
    Extractions: The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) is a federal law that prohibits discrimination against the disabled and applies to all colleges, universities and other educational institutions. The focus of the provisions of this law is on integration and equality. A university is not allowed to make pre-admission inquiries about whether a student has any disabilities. Once the individual has met the university's admission standards, that individual should not be barred from attempting to complete a course of studies. Providing meaningful access to courses for disabled persons is not preferential treatment, it is aimed at providing equal opportunity. When a student's disability prevents him or her from fulfilling a course requirement through conventional procedures, thoughtful consideration should be given to alternatives, keeping in mind that academic standards must be maintained. Innovative and flexible solutions may include extended assignment deadlines, use of word processing equipment, or taped responses in class or on examinations. The responsibility for determining a City University student's eligibility for accommodation rests with the Human Resource Department/Disability Resource Office.

    Extractions: Views News Home Advertisement July 29 Nearly a third of young people with disabilities have taken at least some postsecondary classes within the first two years after they leave high school, according to a U.S. Education Department study released Thursday. The study finds that disabled students over all are less than half as likely as their peers to have attended college in the two years after high school, but the college-going rate varies greatly by type of disability: Students with hearing or visual impairments are as likely as nondisabled students to have done some postsecondary work. E-mail Print The study looked at a group of students who were in high school in 2001 and who had finished or left high school two years later. Of those, 31 percent of disabled students had attended a postsecondary institution since leaving high school, although a small proportion of those were attending college exclusively (most were working, too). Nearly 20 percent of the students were attending college currently at the time the study was conducted in 2003, just under half of the proportion for the general population.

    Extractions: Testing Students with Disabilities Back to Spotlight Issues Back to CTEST Home Introduction to the issue Official Documents regarding special needs students Special needs testing in the News Weblinks for further information Introduction to the Issues As increasing numbers of students with disabilities apply for admission to institutions of higher education, many are seeking modifications during admissions testing to accommodate for their disabilities. Many of these accommodations are granted. The most common modification is extended time for test administration, although large print versions of tests, readers for tests, and other types of accommodations are also provided. When these accommodations are granted, many of those taking the tests with modifications are unaware that the score reports for such testing usually are sent to colleges or universities with a "flag" or other designation indicating that the test was given under nonstandard conditions. This nation currently embraces important social policy goals of allowing persons with disabilities to participate as fully as possible in society without having to face negative bias or stereotypes. For too long, many individuals with disabilities have had to confront unfair presumptions about their abilities to succeed in education and employment. There are now laws in many states and two federal laws designed to prohibit discrimination against individuals with disabilities.

    http://www.educationupdate.com/archives/2002/aug02/htmls/coverg_colleges.html
    
    Extractions: By Zaher Karp College is the anticipated fork in the road for many students, but for those with special needs, this shift is far more uncertain. For students who suffer from attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (AD/HD), dyslexia, or another learning disability, what are their postsecondary education options? Several programs and schools have been established to cater specifically to students with disabilities, including Gallaudet University, Landmark College, and the SALT program at the University of Arizona. Founded in 1864 by an act of Congress, Gallaudet University (www.gallaudet.edu) in Washington D.C. has been dedicated to the education of the deaf and hard of hearing. The bill was signed by Abraham Lincoln, and Gallaudet College was born. It remained Gallaudet College until 1986, where another act of Congress approved university status. “Gallaudet University remains the only liberal arts University for the deaf in the entire world,” said Mercy Coogan, a university spokesperson. This institution teaches approximately 2000 undergraduate and graduate students; numbers that were previously unimaginable from its initial enrollment of eight students. This upcoming semester, for the second time in the history of Gallaudet, hearing students will be admitted. These students have expressed a good deal of interest and are, of course, fluent in sign language. They are often the children of deaf adults.

    Extractions: Course Search The College recognises that a number of students starting courses each year may have special needs in categories such as: For some of the categories listed above, where there is an unseen special need, there may be a reluctance to disclose it. However, by taking a positive attitude to disclosure, you will find the College's attitude and response similarly positive. The disadvantages of non-disclosure could include staff being unaware of your needs and therefore unable to provide the appropriate help, and the possibility of being treated on unequal terms compared with other students. On the other hand, disclosure may well speed up the process of applying for additional financial help under the Disabled Students Allowance (DSA) which can provide: equipment, e.g. computers and software; personal help, e.g. scribes, readers; special diets; transport costs. The onus, however, is on you to notify the Admissions Tutor or other member of College staff at the earliest opportunity of any difficulty that you are experiencing or are likely to experience. A needs interview may be arranged in order to identify your special need and assess the extent to which SAC can meet it.
