Your Responsibilities to Disabled Persons as a School or College Administrator.
Department of Health, Education, and Welfare, Washington, DC.
The booklet discusses the educational administrator's responsibilities to handicapped persons, as mandated by Title V, Section 504, of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 (P.L. 93-112) and the Education for All Handicapped Children Act (P.L. 94-142). The laws themselves are briefly discussed, along with the various handicapping conditions they provide for. Elementary, secondary, preschool, adult, and higher education are all touched upon. Other aspects covered include self evaluation of academic programs, physical access to buildings, and employment of handicapped persons. Other rights of the handicapped are also briefly reviewed, and addresses of agencies providing information about specific HEW programs serving the disabled are listed. Also included are self evaluation and building access checklists, a timetable for compliance to both laws, and the addresses of the HEW regional Office for Civil Rights. (DLS)
