Why are there differences in high school disability related accommodations and what is available at Universitys and universities?
The primary law under which services in K-12 schools are provided is the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA). Under this law schools tailor the curriculum around the student and their needs so they will be successful in the school setting. Under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), institutions of higher educations are only required to make reasonable accommodations that will provide the disabled student equal access to the organizations programs, services and activities. Unlike high school accommodations, the reasonable accommodations postsecondary institutions provide are not intended to ensure success or fundamentally alter classes or programs.
