    Extractions: Although located some three hundred miles apart, Chester College, a College of the University of Liverpool, located in the north west of England, and Canterbury Christ Church University College, located in Kent in the south east of England, recently benefited from sharing experiences of implementing projects to improve provision for disabled students in similar cultural settings. The process assisted the enhancement of services at each institution and also impacted more widely on other institution-based widening participation initiatives. Margaret Scott (centre), Disability Officer at Canterbury Christ Church College, pictured with students Eleonor Roberts (left) and her dog, Megan and Melissa Bubb (right) and her dog, Kola. The two colleges have much in common - not least their Church of England foundation. For much of their histories, each has been concerned with the professional education of teachers - a tradition strongly continued through undergraduate and PGCE programmes. More recently, each has diversified to add a range of other BA/BSc and post-graduate programmes to their long established teacher-education programmes. Both colleges have campuses located within historic city centres, each with magnificent cathedrals which play a part in the ceremonial life of the colleges, including graduation ceremonies.

The Disability Support Services Coordinator (or DS Coordinator) is an employee of the college who assists students with disabilities by ensuring equal access. Based on appropriate disability documentation provided by the student, he or she ascertains eligibility for classroom accommodations and works with students and instructors to ensure those accommodations are provided.

    Extractions: College Students with Disabilities Ken Werner A professor’s awareness of his/her students’ abilities is one of the most important pieces of the relationship between teachers and students. Students enter a classroom with all types of backgrounds, cultures and personalities. Instructors have an obligation to become aware of special needs of students in their classrooms. Most importantly, instructors must be aware of the needs of students with disabilities so these students may receive a quality education. The Public School Scene High school exit data is required to show the proportion of students who received special education and related services at the secondary level. Below is a graphical representation of the U.S. Department of Education’s (1992) statistics on the 220,000 students with disabilities who left the special education system in 1990. In 1995, the National Longitudinal Transition Study, a congressionally mandated project that tracks the outcomes of high school students with disabilities, indicated that the support and services students receive is directly connected to how successful the students are in their regular classes (D’ Amico, 1995). For instance, students with disabilities who participated in vocational education courses had fewer absences, higher grades and higher graduation rates. Nonetheless, a student with disabilities overall has higher absenteeism, dropout rates and lower grades than the general high school population.

    Extractions: EASI Change is Scary. It usually means new people, a new environment, new equipment, new procedures, and new expectations. But change is also a part of progress. And the way to make sure that life changes are more beneficial than painful, is to understand what is expected and required in a new environment and to carefully plan how to fulfill those new expectations and requirements. Students with disabilities can have a particularly hard time making the usual transitions that take place in the educational process. When a student moves from one educational setting to another, it is a time of anxiety. If that student has a disability, the anxiety is multiplied. The new environment may have to be physically adapted. New classmates will have questions, and new teachers will need information on how to best help the disabled student progress and become an interdependent part of the new classroom or school. One of the main issues facing parents of children with disabilities is whether or not to allow their children to be mainstreamed - put into regular school classrooms. Many people see it as an equality issue. Others see it practically - some children aren't able to learn what they need to learn in regular classes.

    Extractions: Lessons Learned from FIPSE Project I -October 1990 Thus, in the first of the five categories that I have identified, there is a project entitled "Educational Access for Hispanic Youth," operated by Madonna College in Michigan. This venture exemplifies the effort to strengthen the scholastic background of minority students so that they are more apt to continue on to college and, once there, succeed. Graduation rates for minority students who enter higher education are mentioned much less frequently than enrollment rates, but glimpses of the limited data available indicate that minority college students are considerably less likely than whites to get degrees. Only 24% of black students and 20% of Hispanic students at 4-year colleges got baccalaureates within 6 years, compared with about half of white students, according to a report released early this year by the National Institute of Independent Colleges and Universities. Getting through high school is an important first step in the educational advancement of disadvantaged minority students, who frequently have few role models to help them recognize that they can realistically aspire to a college education. Financial pressures push them toward jobs and some peers disparage education. Disadvantaged minority students may foreclose possibilities by dropping out of school. The program run by Madonna College sought to keep youngsters enrolled in high school and, at the same time, give them more of the grounding in math, science, and English that they would need for higher education. Parents were engaged in the effort to recruit participants, who were tested so that they could be assigned for tutoring in groups of similar ability. The tutoring workshops met on Saturdays during the school year and for 6-week sessions during the summer.

Contact Us The needs of persons with differing abilities are as unique as the individual. Identifying, understanding, and accepting your disability is the first step to becoming an independent person. Meeting the needs of students at the post-secondary level represents a cross-section of special challenges. They include blind/low vision, deaf/hard of hearing, mobility impaired, learning disabled, or any other challenges a student may confront in obtaining their goal. The biggest challenge posed by a disability maybe breaking the social barrier: Knowing your own limitations and capabilities is the key for you to be able to set realistic goals. Many people are uncomfortable with a disabled person, so try to make them feel at ease; give them a chance to overcome those fears; fears which at sometime you as a disabled person might have had as well. As part of self-directed learning we encourage and support all of our students to be active and involved.

However, according to Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, colleges and universities are not obligated to waive foreign language requirements for students with learning disabilities, nor are they required to provide course substitutions. Thus, colleges and universities that do provide waivers or substitutions do so on a voluntary basis. Accommodative Services.
