Planning for Accessibility: A Guide to Developing and Implementing Campus Transition Plans.
Milner, Margaret
This manual has been prepared to assist college and university administrators in making their campus facilities accessible to physically handicapped students, faculty, and staff. It gives a step-by-step procedure for developing and implementating campuswide programs required by Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973. It explains the Department of Health, Education, and Welfare deadlines and requirements, then describes how to set immediate and long-range goals, develop a transition plan, assign responsibility for the plan, and set a schedule for compliance. The manual includes case histories of four campuses that successfully made their facilities accessible to handicapped persons. Two survey instruments for determining building accessibility are also included. (Author/IRT)
