<b>Audioconference October 10, 2008 at 10:00 - 11:30am<br><br>
<br>
"Congressional Reset of the ADA: How will the ADA Amendments Affect
Your Policy & Practice?"<br><br>
ABOUT THE PROGRAM<br><br>
</b>AHEAD is pleased to provide this timely audioconference opportunity
to provide higher education professionals with crucial information on how
the ADA Amendments will affect your policy and practice.<br><br>
During final passage of the ADA Amendments by Congress George Miller
summarized the purpose of the ADA Amendments as returning the proper
emphasis to whether discrimination occurred rather than on whether an
individual's impairment qualifies as a disability. He went on to comment
on some of the expectations for higher education. <br><br>
“….students with physical or mental impairments will have access to the
accommodations and modifications they need to successfully pursue an
education …that the less demanding standard applied to the definition of
disability will allow students and licensure candidates with documented
disabilities to more readily access appropriate accommodations on
examinations when needed.”<br><br>
What is the likely impact of this Congressional “reset” of the ADA on our
campuses? What policies and practices will need adjusting? Join Scott
Lissner for an exploration of the amendments and a discussion of what
policies and practices are likely to be affected. <br><br>
