"Whether you are working directly in disability services, supervising those who are doing so, or serving as an institutional partner, this text provides a great entry point for professionals in higher education. Readers will find a comprehensive grounding in the letter and spirit of the law that establishes a firm foundation for how institutions serve students with disabilities. The authors draw from their experience to offer specific examples, reflective exercises, and practical tools to help manage day-to-day operations." - Kaela Parks , Director of Accessible Education & Disability Resources at Portland Community College "The field of disability services has undergone rapid change in recent years. In Disability Services in Higher Education the authors have assembled an exceptional text that reflects both theoretical and practice-based content. For example, it provides readers with the opportunity to consider campus accessibility through the lens of both case law and campus culture. Moreover, it does so while also sharing many practical tools for disability services professionals including policy statements, sample office forms, and letters, as well as many helpful professional tips based upon years of field-based experience. This text should be considered required reading for new and seasoned professionals; all affiliated professionals who promote access, equity, and inclusion; and all future disability services professionals studying the field.
