Articles published in AHEAD’s ALERT (electronic newsletter)
Since January 2009, the “ALERT,” the newsletter of the Association on Higher Education and Disability (AHEAD), has published my series of articles “AHEAD of the ADA Access Curve,” intended to assist disability service providers, ADA Coordinators, and others in promoting compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act, section 504, and the Fair Housing Act. The series approaches physical access and related issues as key to the civil rights of individuals with disabilities. It is intended to provide some helpful tools in a time of shifting requirements and shrinking resources.
The ALERT newsletter is available only to members of AHEAD, but my articles are reprinted here for you!
