Description of the tool:

The legal safety and rights of students with disability may be jeopardized if students are not treated equally and fairly. Large universities with many departments and insitutions may treat students differently if all involved are not aware of the rights of students and various supports/accommodations available to them. A handbook compiled for all personnel directly involved with supporting students with disability would include for example: laws, regulations, rules, university policies governing students with disability, university organisation for support, with names and contact information, types of services/support available. The Handbook would need to be adapted to fit the needs of the university compliling it.
