Subject: Disability 200: Taking it to the next level (e-learning course)

*Course Description*
This five-week course is designed for college student educators -- student
affairs staff, disability service professionals, academic advisors, and
faculty, among others -- who already have a basic understanding of issues
around students with disabilities in higher education including the ADA,
Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act and how to create reasonable
accommodations. This course will focus on deepening students' understanding
of disability on campus, by exploring disability theory with emphasis on
disability as a social construct and how it intersects with student
development theory. The course will examine the relevant theories and
discuss how they can be applied to practice in the student's professional
life.

*Learning Outcomes *

   - Participants will have a common language and understanding of
   student development theory
   - Participants will learn frameworks for understanding disability
   including different ways of thinking about disability
   - Participants will better understand the students' perspective on
   being a student with a disability
   - Participants will learn the integration of student development and
   disability theory and practical applications

*Continuing Education Credits*
This course is eligible for a maximum of 1.5 CEU credits through the
National Board of Certified Counselors (NBCC). ACPA is an official NBCC
provider. The CEU total is based on the expectation that a course
participant will devote a maximum of 5 hours per week (3 weeks total) to the
