Higher Education and Disability

A new report from the the Government Accountability Office (GAO), titled "Higher Education and Disability: Education Needs a Coordinated Approach to Improve Its Assistance to Schools in Supporting Students" is available. The GAO was asked to examine: what is known about the population of postsecondary students with disabilities; how postsecondary schools are supporting students with disabilities; what challenges, if any, schools face in supporting students with disabilities; and how the U.S. Department of Education is assisting schools in supporting these students. Highlights from the report can be found at http://www.gao.gov/highlights/d1033high.pdf. The full report can be found at http://www.gao.gov/cgi-bin/getrpt?GAO-10-33
