- W2468045650 abstract "Individuals with disabilities have faced substantial barriers in pursuing higher education. Few institutions made serious efforts to be accessible until legislation demanded nondiscrimination on the basis of handicap. Federal legislation is generally interpreted to mean that schools must provide access to computers with appropriate adaptive technology to students with disabilities when such access is required to pursue academic studies. Accommodations are to be made in the most integrated setting appropriate. However, for many disable students, discrimination in access to computing resources persists.This study explores issues surrounding the provision of computing services to disabled students in institutions of higher education. The results of a survey of schools with enrollments of 1,000 or more students reveal that computing services for students with disabilities are underdeveloped at many schools, with some schools providing no services in this area. The office of disabled student services is the organizational unit most involved in the selection, funding, and management of the services that are provided. Two-year, public, and larger schools tend to provide a greater number of computing services for disabled students and a greater number of types of adaptive devices and to assign staff to specifically support disabled students than four-year, private, and smaller schools, respectively. Access to electronic services for students with disabilities is very limited at most schools. Those who provide some computing services for students with disabilities tend to integrate them into facilities used by other students and this integrated model is generally preferred by staff. Staff generally rate moderately high both the abilities of disabled students to make productive use of computers and the contribution computers make to the academic success of these students. They consider funding the greatest barrier to providing computing services to students with disabilities.The results of this study may help administrators make better decisions regarding the provision of computing services to students with disabilities and thereby better serve these students. The results suggest that institutions must make greater efforts to assure nondiscrimination on the basis of disability regarding access to computing services." @default.
