>Course Description:
>
>In one week in June, the Department of Justice 
>posted updated ADA regulations for public 
>comment and the ADA Amendments Act, reached 
>through compromise between disability and 
>business communities, started on the fast-track 
>for Congressional approval. This kind of 
>significant movement in legislative and 
>regulatory guidance is unusual in the world of 
>disability services. How will the changes impact 
>on higher education? What matters - and what 
>doesn't! -  in the language used and the explanations provided?
>
>Learning Points To Be Answered:
>    * How proposed changes to service animal 
> regulations will help to resolve many of the 
> recent questions faced by postsecondary service providers.
>    * How new language regarding demands for 
> documentation by testing agencies may work to 
> the benefit of students pursuing graduate and professional education.
>    * What has been added to the definition of a 
> "person with a disability," and why.
>    * Why the higher education community has 
> been resistant to these changes, and how to 
> respond to concerns of administrators.
>
