Waiving Standardized College Admission Tests for Disabled Students: A Complex Question.

Schein, Andrea; Neault, Liz

Exceptional Parent, v16 n5 p65-71 Sep 1986

An evaluation of the law's effectiveness and implementation indicates that other states should consider possible ramifications and confer with all concerned parties before enacting such a law.
