ADA, Section 504, and the Protection of Students with Disabilities Recorded Webinar | Kent Seaver | From: Feb 16, 2021 - To: Dec 31, 2021 |
The lack of understanding colleges and universities have in regard to ADA and 504 is disturbing, given the length of time both have been in effect. By examining the rules and how they are applied in institutions of higher education, higher education professionals can replicate successful models that both ensure equal access to education, as well as the prevention of unnecessary and costly federal audits.
This presentation with expert Kent Seaver should educate the higher education community on the proper way to navigate issues regarding ADA and 504 on college campuses. Even in today’s world of constant informational bombardment, too many schools are ignorant of the rights of both students and colleges. By becoming better familiar with these federal disability laws, colleges and universities can create policies that provide a positive, welcoming, and encouraging arena for your students with disabilities. In doing so, educators can create an environment where differences are not viewed as negative impediments, but instead as areas where individual strengths are recognized.
