As larger numbers of people with disabilities attend postsecondary educational institutions, there have been comparable greater efforts to make the full array of classes, services, and programs accessible to all students. This book provides both a full survey of those measures and practical guidance for schools as they work to turn the goal of universal accessibility into a reality.
