Hatzes, Nanette M.; Reiff, Henry B.; Bramel, Michael H.

Assessment for Effective Intervention, v27 n3 p37-52 Spr 2002

A survey of 73 postsecondary disability service providers found most institutions have guidelines for documenting learning disabilities that were adapted from the Association on Higher Education and Disability. However, respondents indicated that documentation is most often rejected because it is not current and does not meet other institutional guidelines. (Contains references.) (Author/CR)
