Faculty Disability Services Handbook
"I highly recommend this book to disability service providers and administrators, as well as to faculty members who work with students with disabilities in higher education. The author's use of recent court cases and OCR rulings, as well as some key cases in the history of the field, to reiterate the points made in the discussion of key tipics is very effective."
