81. Special Needs The Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA), which delivery to students with special needs in the not extend protection to the college level student http://www.lafayette.edu/academics/special_needs/disability.html

Lafayette Academics Special Needs Disabilities at the College Level If you believe that you will need accommodations or modifications at Lafayette College, you must provide appropriate documentation that verifies the existence of the disability and discusses its impact on your ability to participate in the college environment. Requirements for appropriate documentation of learning disabilities, AD/HD, psychological disorders, and chronic health impairments are included in this website. Unlike the IDEA, which requires public schools to bear the cost of psycho-educational assessment as part of the process of identifying and servicing students with learning disabilities, the ADA places the responsibility for obtaining appropriate documentation of any and all disabilities on the student. Lafayette College reviews the documentation and decides whether or not the student is disabled under the ADA. The ADA does not require that colleges provide services or accommodations in the absence of a request by the student. This means that if you need an accommodation(s), you must initiate contact with the Office of the Dean of Studies, provide documentation verifying the need, and specifically request the accommodation(s). The request for accommodations must be renewed each semester. This is a new responsibility for most students, who have typically relied on their parents and their case managers or resource room teachers in high school to manage all their educational needs. In college, students with disabilities must assume full and independent responsibility for securing the services and accommodations they need.

Overall Policy and Approach The College aims to provide a welcoming and friendly environment, which is supportive to both students, programme members and staff with disabilities. This is part of a wider commitment to equal opportunities. 2. Admission to Qualification Programmes Applications from people with disabilities will be considered against the same criteria as those from people without a disability applying for the same programme. Full consideration of the specific support facilities required will take place and the College will make every effort to effect reasonable adjustments in order to enable applicants to join the programme of their choice. Staff have been given guidelines to assist them in responding to applications from people who have a disability, and in giving advice to applicants with specific needs arising out of a disability. We therefore urge all applicants with special needs to identify their individual requirements as early as possible in the application process by ticking the relevant section of the application form, or by contacting the relevant member of staff (see list of contacts in Appendix 1). 3.

Too often, these students are counseled into a general studies curriculum that will disqualify them from admission to most 4-year colleges. In addition, many students with learning disabilities receive course waiversoften for foreign language or mathematicswhich can significantly limit college options. Course waivers may be necessary and appropriate, but they should be provided only when based on valid diagnostic data. Furthermore, all parties should be made aware of the implications of waivers for postsecondary education. The individualized educational program or transition plan for a student with learning disabilities should provide for an early determination of postsecondary goals agreeable to all concerned and specification of the curriculum, courses, time sequence, and support program appropriate for realization of those long-term goals. The goals will require continual monitoring and adjustment throughout the high school program as the student's postsecondary and career choices become refined.

Others find such cognitive processes quite difficult. Learning disabilities have only recently been recognized as disabilities. This neurological disorder causes difficulty in organizing information received, remembering them, and expressing information and therefore affects a person's basic function such as reading, writing, comprehension, and reasoning. However, these students with learning disabilities can be taught effective learning strategies that will help them approach tasks more effectively.

Then, specific areas of admission, accommodation, and dismissal are examined. Finally, guidelines are presented that may be used by professors and administrators in their efforts to provide qualified students with disabilities with nondiscriminatory access to higher education. Today, there are more students with documented disabilities in higher education than ever before 140,142 freshmen reported having a disability in 1996 (HEATH Resource Center, 1998).
