Dear AHEAD Members,

 

In response to current scholarship in disability studies and definitive
changes in the legal landscape and civil rights regulations surrounding
disability, AHEAD is pleased to announce and disseminate updated
professional guidance regarding disability documentation. 

 

Supporting Accommodation Requests: Guidance on Documentation Practices
is a conceptual framework for disability professionals in higher
education to use as they make informed accommodation determinations. It
represents the culmination of a comprehensive process with contributions
from workgroups and expert consultation throughout. This new guidance
was developed at the direction of the AHEAD Board of Directors and
unanimously approved in April, 2012. Supporting Accommodation Requests:
Guidance on Documentation Practices supersedes previous AHEAD guidance
on disability documentation. 

 

AHEAD encourages study of this new guidance, discussion with colleagues,
and consideration of its transformative impact on your institution and
departmental practice. As you may recall, a tele-webinar to review and
discuss implementation of this new documentation framework is available
Thursday, May 24th from 3:00 - 5:00 PM EDT; offered to AHEAD members
at-cost.   Information regarding this tele-webinar is available at:
http://ahead.org/events-and-workshops/prof-dev/tele-web
