FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS The following are frequently asked questions and answers regarding why using our service is an excellent idea for any student with documented learning disabilities who is contemplating going to a college or university after high school. If there is anything you would like to know that is not covered here, please contact us and we will be happy to address any questions you may have. Q. Why should I use your service to do what I could possibly do myself? A. Yes, you can do some of the college and university research yourself, but time is money. You are very busy with your current school work, jobs, and social life. Our service frees you from one more activity that you probably do not have time to complete properly. Searching for the right college or university is very time consuming when done correctly and since you have special needs, the search for a college or university becomes even more critical. We not only have experience in locating the right institution of higher learning that meets your special requirements, we will have done the research necessary to assure the proper match - student to school. We will have talked to the appropriate people at the colleges or universities recommended to assure the services needed are fully available and not just there to meet some governmental requirement. Any search process will normally require campus visits in order to talk to appropriate personnel regarding programs and services as well as getting a "feel" for the college or university campus. Just think of the money you may spend on hotels and travel visiting campuses that have not been thoroughly researched, only to find they do not have the programs and facilities that meet your special needs.

Contact Background Workable is a charity established in 1990 to counter the prejudice faced by disabled graduates in their search for employment in the careers of their choice by persuading employers to provide them with structured work experience as a stepping stone to permanent employment. Since October 1997 Workable has been piloting a project called Mediable to find work experience placements for disabled students/graduates who want to work in the media. Workable has just been awarded nearly £211,000 to expand the project over the next three years with the appointment of a full-time project manager and assistant project officer. They will concentrate on three main tasks: identifying disabled people who are already working successfully in the media and producing case studies, perhaps in the form of a video, to show what they are achieving at work and how they and their employers cope with their disabilities as a means of encouraging young disabled people from secondary school onwards to consider working in the media as a career;

HOME RESOURCES LINK 3 CONTENTS The Special Educational Needs and Disability Act 2001 Provided by Skill: National Bureau for Students with Disabilities On 11 May 2001, the Special Educational Needs and Disability Bill became an Act finally introducing legal rights for disabled students. This new legislation is an extension of the Disability Discrimination Act 1995 (DDA) and is likely to affect all those working within the education field. Below, Skill: National Bureau for Students with Disabilities explains the main provisions of the Act and their likely consequences for post-16 education with particular reference to those working in hospitality, leisure, sport and tourism. What does the Act cover? The responsible bodies covered by the Act are: Further and higher education institutions including sixth form colleges. All education authorities or local education authorities when they secure further, adult or community education including youth services (but not voluntary sector youth organisations). Specialist residential colleges for disabled people (the Department for Education and Skills has provided a list of the colleges in question in draft regulations).

Services for Students with Special Needs The University of Wisconsin System provides full and equal educational opportunities to all students. All students are entitled to an accessible, accommodating, and supportive teaching and learning environment. Each two year Colleges campus , and each baccalaureate campus has a contact person who can answer questions and provide information about the programs and services available at that institution. In 1988, the University of Wisconsin System Board of Regents passed a non-discrimination policy mandating that students with special needs will receive the accommodations necessary to have equal access to educational opportunities and programs in the integrated campus setting. All of the System campuses provide a variety of services for students with special needs based on the individual student's needs, such as taped textbooks, alternative testing, classroom notetakers, priority registration, accessible parking, readers, equipment loan, and advising. Two campuses also offer specialized programs for students with learning disabilities. Project Success at University of Wisconsin-Oshkosh is a successful academic and social remediation program for students with learning disabilities. The intent is that participants will become educationally independent in and across these major educational areas: mathematics, spelling, reading, writing, comprehension, and study skills. Those interested should apply at least two to three years prior to desired entrance. However, this should not deter applicants. Once accepted, the student must be willing to register for participation in the summer term prior to the fall semester of their first academic year at University of Wisconsin-Oshkosh. There are no fees for the services.

Cover Story Spotlight On Schools Featured Columnists Letters ... Travel New York City August 2002 College Choices for Students With Special Needs By Zaher Karp College is the anticipated fork in the road for many students, but for those with special needs, this shift is far more uncertain. For students who suffer from attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (AD/HD), dyslexia, or another learning disability, what are their postsecondary education options? Several programs and schools have been established to cater specifically to students with disabilities, including Gallaudet University, Landmark College, and the SALT program at the University of Arizona. Founded in 1864 by an act of Congress, Gallaudet University (www.gallaudet.edu) in Washington D.C. has been dedicated to the education of the deaf and hard of hearing. The bill was signed by Abraham Lincoln, and Gallaudet College was born. It remained Gallaudet College until 1986, where another act of Congress approved university status. “Gallaudet University remains the only liberal arts University for the deaf in the entire world,” said Mercy Coogan, a university spokesperson. This institution teaches approximately 2000 undergraduate and graduate students; numbers that were previously unimaginable from its initial enrollment of eight students. This upcoming semester, for the second time in the history of Gallaudet, hearing students will be admitted. These students have expressed a good deal of interest and are, of course, fluent in sign language. They are often the children of deaf adults.

Increasing numbers of students with identified learning disabilities are now entering U.S. colleges and universities. Expectations are emerging across the country for students to study a foreign language in elementary, junior high, or high school. More and more colleges and universities expect proficiency in a foreign language upon college entry or prior to college graduation.

Special Educational Needs and Disability Act The Special Educational Needs and Disability Act became law on 11 May 2001. As a result, discrimination against disabled students in the provision of education, training and other related services will become unlawful. The legislation will apply in England, Wales and Scotland but not, as yet, in Northern Ireland. The new Act covers pre- and post-16 education, but the following article deals only with post-16 issues. Who will the Act protect? Who will have responsibilities under the new law? What does the Act cover? to top What will education providers have to do? The anticipatory nature of the legislation should mean that the needs of some disabled students will be met automatically. In other cases, adjustments will need to be made for individuals in response to particular needs. There will thus be a responsibility on education providers to do what they can to find out whether individuals have disability-related needs. However, if an education provider has made reasonable attempts to find out, but an individual student has chosen not to disclose their disability or need, education providers will not be liable for any failure to make specific individual adjustments. to top Redress The Disability Rights Commission is being asked to set up a conciliation service, which it is hoped will deal with most complaints in a speedy and effective way. If both parties do not agree to conciliation, or if conciliation fails, students may take cases to court (the county court in England and Wales and the sheriff court in Scotland). Courts will have the power not only to determine the rights of the case, but also award compensation and impose injunctions or interdicts to ensure discriminatory practices are reviewed.

For the first time the funding councils have included the number of students claiming the disabled student allowance in their annual performance indicators. The move was praised by the disabled students organisation Skill, but it also expressed concern that large numbers of students appeared not to be claiming the allowance. Skill believes between 4 and 5% of the student population has some form of disability, based on returns to the Higher Education Statistics Agency, but only 1.4% claim the allowance. A number of universities and colleges (see below) have no students at all receiving the disabled allowance.

With a national trend showing more disabled students attending community colleges instead of four-year institutions, Harper College considers itself at the forefront of this remarkable change.

Education policy framework for the Advice Centre's work Calls for the integration of disabled persons into society and measures taken to rehabilitate such persons into society led, in the mid-1970s, to legislation which established the education rights, including the right to higher education, of disabled persons. In 1976, the Higher Education Framework Act (Hochschul-rahmengesetz - HRG), and subsequent state (Länder) legislation, was passed in which those with responsibility for higher education were required to give due consideration to the special needs of students with disabilities. I n its recommendations on the "Improvement of Education and Training for Disabled Students in Higher Education" of 25th June, 1982, the Standing Conference of the State Ministers of Education and Cultural Affairs further specified these obligations for the universities and colleges.
