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. 

Jane E. Jarrow, Ph.D., is the President of Disability Access Information and
Support (DAIS). Dr. Jarrow was a full-time faculty member at The Ohio State
University in Speech/Language Pathology for seven years before assuming a
position as the Executive Director of the Association on Higher Education
and Disability (AHEAD). (AHEAD is an international professional membership
organization providing technical assistance, information, and support to
individuals involved in issues of disability access in higher education.)
Dr. Jarrow is a skilled presenter and speaks knowledgeably about the legal
and educational mandates surrounding the participation of persons with
disabilities in postsecondary settings. Throughout her 14-year tenure with
AHEAD, and in her current position with DAIS, Dr. Jarrow has traveled
extensively presenting workshops and training sessions focused on these
issues. Through DAIS, Dr. Jarrow also provides technical assistance, online
professi onal development courses, participates in grant writing and
editing, and is the author/publisher of a number of significant resource
materials.

Michael R. Masinter has been a Professor of Law at Nova Southeastern
University's Shepard Broad Law Center in Fort Lauderdale, Florida since 1978
and a member of the Florida Bar since 1973. He teaches, writes and speaks
about, and litigates disability rights and compliance issues including those
relating to therapy pets, companion animals and service animals. Before
joining the NSU faculty, Professor Masinter was director of litigation for
Florida Rural Legal Services, Inc. He is a graduate of Georgetown University
Law Center and Stanford University.
