Disabled Student Access in an Era of Technology.

Wall, Patricia S.; Sarver, Lee

Internet and Higher Education, v6 n3 p277-84 2003

Advocates for disabled students now assert that the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (ADA) and the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, which prohibit discrimination against students with disabilities at public and private universities, also require accommodation for Web-based instruction. This article reviews some of the laws and current issues facing administrators in this area and offers some recommendations for ensuring compliance. (Author/AEF)
