Provision for the Physically Disabled: A Report to the Connecticut Commission for Higher Education by a Resource Group on the Physically Disabled in Connecticut Postsecondary Education.
Presented is a report to the Connecticut Commission for Higher Education by an independent resource group on the accessibility of Connecticut postsecondary education for the blind, deaf, and physically disabled. The report considers the following provisions for the physically handicapped: acquiring funding for removal of physical and communication barriers as provided in the 1968 Ammendment to the Vocational Rehabilitation Act; the requirements for accessibility to buildings for the disabled; difficulty in establishing data on the number of disabled; nonphysical barriers in colleges such as communication barriers, minority affiliation, and the admissions process; the absence of minorities as students in Connecticut colleges including the blind and deaf; inadequate precollege preparation; supportive services such as volunteers, testing arrangements, and preregistration for classes; and future provisions for disabled persons. Appended are responses to a mobility survey; the Vocational Rehabilitation Act (Public Law 93-112), excerpts from Trio Program Manual, excerpts from Public Law 90-576 on vocational education, and charts on the accessibility of education facilities.
