| Abstract: |
In November of 2004, Congress passed the reauthorized Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA). Although postsecondary institutions are not subject to the mandates of the IDEA, there will be a ripple effect of the law on postsecondary services for students with disabilities. The focus of this article to provide information to postsecondary disability service providers related to four key areas of the new IDEA that will impact students accessing services in the coming years: (a) re-evaluations of disabilities, (b) the summary of performance requirement, (c) transition planning, and (d) new criteria for the diagnosis of a learning disability. Changes in each area are highlighted, as are possible implications for postsecondary disability programs. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
