Federal Law and the Accommodation of Students with LD: The Lawyers' Look at the BU Decision.
Wolinsky, Sid; Whelan, Amy
Journal of Learning Disabilities, v32 n4 p286-91 Jul-Aug 1999
Examines, from the perspective of the plaintiffs, the 1998 Guckenberger v. Boston University case in which the plaintiffs claimed the university failed to provide reasonable accommodations for students with learning disabilities. The authors view the complex decision as a ruling against the university under the Americans with Disabilities Act, Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, and Massachusetts state law. (DB)
