I would agree with previous replies that noted that what is good practice for disabled students is often good practice anyway. As for a working definition that you can wave in front of the tutors, how about: "Students with disabilities may be or become disadvantaged by an educational environment in which the provision of the curriculum and social resources are not designed in such a way as to be optimally accessible."
