Extractions: This article briefly reviews Section 504 and the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 and identi fies the criteria that are used to determine whether a student is both "disabled" and "qualified." Then, specific areas of admission, accommodation, and dismissal are examined. Finally, guidelines are presented that may be used by professors and administrators in their efforts to provide qualified students with disabilities with nondiscriminatory access to higher education. Today, there are more students with documented disabilities in higher education than ever before 140,142 freshmen reported having a disability in 1996 (HEATH Resource Center, 1998). That figure represents over 9% of all freshmen (HEATH Resource Center, 1998), as compared with only 2.6% in 1978 (HEATH Resource Center, 1995). Although the process has been slow, colleges and universities (hereafter referred to as Of particular significance in recent years has been the growth in the number of students with learning disabilities. Over 35% of the freshmen in 1996 who reported having a disability were purported to have a learning disability an increase from 24.9% in 1991 (HEATH Resource Center, 1998). The growth in the number of students with learning disabilities has created a new challenge to professors and colleges. Over the years, there has been considerable resistance by pro

Extractions: Kevin H. Smith excerpted from: Kevin H. Smith, Disabilities, Law Schools, and Law Students: a Proactive and Holistic Approach , Akron Law Review 1-106, 5-33 (1999)(261 Footnotes) A wide variety of physical and mental impairments may result in a disability as defined by the relevant legal framework; these disabilities occur with varying degrees of severity and frequently occur in combination. Inasmuch as different disabilities, or combinations of disabilities, affect distinct aspects of a student's physical and academic capacities, each disabled student's situation is unique. However, a general understanding of the range of physical and mental disabilities, as well as their causes and typical consequences, will permit law school administrators and legal educators to assess more accurately whether a given student's impairment constitutes a disability and what constitutes a reasonable accommodation. Further, this information will permit legal educators to assist more effectively each disabled law student in maximizing and fulfilling her potential. Despite their diversity, physical and mental disabilities may be divided into three broad categories based on their etiologies and their resulting functional limitations: physical/medical, learning-related and emotional disabilities. Each category is discussed in turn.

Volume 01, Issue 8 California AB 2222 v. the ADA From the desk of Beth Spanish translation provided by Liliana and Mayda From the text of AB 2222: "Under the California [FEHA] it is an unlawful employment practice for an employer or employment agency to refuse to hire or employ a person or otherwise discriminate because of specified personal characteristics, including a mental or physical disability or medical condition. The act defines mental disability for its purposes to include any mental or psychological disorder, as specified, and defines physical disability to include, among other things, any physiological disease, disorder, condition, disfigurement, or loss that affects specified body systems and limits an individual's ability to participate in major life activities."

Extractions: about ARCH direct service litigation law reform ... next page Most of the key terms we will focus on are important in relation to determining when a taxpayer may make a claim based on having a dependant with a disability. Some of these terms are defined in the ITA. Others are considered to have their "ordinary meanings", but are discussed in Interpretation Bulletins and Guides, which provide some indication as to how CCRA interprets them. When speaking generally of taxpayers who have dependants with disabilities, we shall use the phrase individual supporting a person with a disability, or a variant. We will distinguish this from the phrase supporting person which has a specific definition in the ITA in connection with child care expenses. For each key term, we set out its relevance in general terms, then we provide the definition or explanation given in the ITA or in other CCRA publications, and finally we provide a commentary on this definition or explanation. An important consideration is what is required to determine that a taxpayer provides support to a person with a disability, who then becomes her or his dependant.

Extractions: Planning Legal issues are an important part of life planning. This section provides information on some of the most important issues and documents you may want to consider. We've included links for you to secure more information on particular areas of interest. As with many issues of the law, you may want to consult with an attorney who is familiar with your specific questions (See Finding an Elder Law Attorney and Disability Issues ). Talking with your spouse, parents or other relatives about health care decisions can help alleviate the stress of having to make critical decisions for a friend or family member. But just talking about important health care and legal decisions isn't always enough. You may want to consider writing down your decisions or seeking advice from legal counsel. Giving copies of these documents to responsible family members, a personal physician and other trusted individuals is also important. Having these discussions early can reduce the stress and clarify the decision-making procedure in the event of a serious medical incident. Finding out about your loved one's wishes as they relate to choices about medical intervention and long-term care may help guide you during a time when the individual is unable to make decisions due to incompetence or incapacity.

Olmstead's central holding is that the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) prohibits states from unnecessarily institutionalizing persons with disabilities and from failing to serve them in the most integrated setting appropriate to their needs if the provision of community services represents a reasonable accommodation and not a fundamental alteration of public programs. Implications for Medicaid policy are also considered in this AARP Public Policy Institute Issue Paper. (17 pages)
