http://www.kenyon.edu/x6966.xml

Extractions: Kenyon is committed to equal access and nondiscrimination, in principle and in practice, for all students without regard to disability. Special needs have been met on an ad hoc basis rather than through established programs designed specifically for the disabled. The type of architecture in historic buildings and the general absence of special facilities and services make a high degree of independence necessary. However, the nature of this residential academic community and the low student/staff ratio increase the potential for personal response to individual needs. Kenyon is committed to working towards an environment that is welcoming to people regardless of disabilities. Procedures for receiving accommodations for a disability 1. Students must identify themselves to Erin Salva, ( Salvae@kenyon.edu ) coordinator of disability services. It is important that incoming students identify themselves prior to the beginning of the semester to ensure that needs are addressed in a timely manner. If a student first discloses his or her disability to a faculty member, that faculty member should make sure that the student has made contact with the disability services office. The disability services office handles all processing of information and liaison with College offices. 2. Students are responsible for supplying written documentation of the disability to the office of disability services. This documentation must be current and follow guidelines established by AHEAD (Association of Higher Education and Disability).

http://deanofstudents.utexas.edu/ssd/trans.php

Extractions: Voter Registration The Transition: Differences Between High School and College The differences between the accommodation process in high school and college can be initially unsettling to those who are used to the secondary school environment. These differences are largely related to the distinct intentions of the laws that govern the provision of accommodations in the post-secondary and secondary settings. Some of these distinctions are detailed below; however, incoming students will find that the major theme behind them is a greater emphasis on personal responsibility and self-advocacy. While this is believed to be an important part of the developmental process for college students, it can lead to difficulties for students who are used to having the bulk of the procedures related to accommodations handled for them by someone else on their behalf.

Extractions: Would Your Child With a Disability Like to Attend College? Reprinted from Connecting , RAISING Special Kids, 4750 North Black Canyon Hwy., Phoenix, AZ 85017-3621 A ttending college or university can be a natural next step for students leaving high school. It may also make sense for your son or daughter for academic or social or experiential reasons. Some students with disabilities may go on to a degree; others may not, similar to the typical college population. So, if your child has expressed such an interest and you think it offers possibilities, where do you start? Gather information on the options from the community college system to a university system to specialized programs [for students with disabilities]. You and your student should do a campus tour or otherwise visit the school. Check out a copy of the schedule of classes and other relevant publications. Once youve decided the school, its time for working through the admission process. Most campuses give students an opportunity to identify themselves as having a disability at some point during the admissions process. There may be a place to check on the application blank, or with the information sent to you AFTER your acceptance, concerning housing, athletic events, etc. If the college invites students to identify themselves as a student with a disability and in need of accommodation, it is to their advantage to let them know as quickly and completely as possible.

Extractions: [From the hard copy book Tools for Teaching by Barbara Gross Davis; Jossey-Bass Publishers: San Francisco, 1993. Linking to this book chapter from other websites is permissible. However, the contents of this chapter may not be copied, printed, or distributed in hard copy form without permission.] Students who have a disability, particularly a learning disability, are a rapidly growing population on college campuses. Though it is difficult to obtain accurate figures, between 3 and 10 percent of college students report having physical or learning disabilities that require compensatory classroom teaching accommodations (City University of New York Committee for the Disabled, 1988; Project EASI, 1991; Smith, 1989). Such accommodations are neither difficult to provide nor distracting to the rest of the class. In fact, many of these accommodations may make learning easier for all your students. General Strategies Ask your students to clarify any special needs.
