Professionals working at the intersection of disability and higher education often find themselves feeling pressure to keep up with the latest court cases and OCR guidance, which sometimes can feel contradictory or overwhelming to the layperson. Do they have to be so reliant on all of these individual decisions to provide access and avoid discrimination?

In this session, start by looking at a set of guidelines that make up the basic foundation of the civil rights laws those cases are based on. Then use those guidelines to analyze some scenarios and determine the best course of action that will provide genuine and meaningful access for students while also keeping the institution consistently in compliance with the law.
