Produktbeschreibung
People with disabilities rarely participate in higher education in the developing world. For people with disabilities, higher education provides the opportunity to compete in open markets with their non disabled peers. This study surveyed selected universities in the United States of America and the United Kingdom with the goal of producing recommendations for the development of disability services at universities in the developing countries of Southeast Europe. In the developing countries of the world, services and supports for students with disabilities are not well developed or are non- existent. In contrast, the US and UK have made significant progress in establishing accommodation services and policies in higher education over the last few decades. These two countries provide a logical starting point of experience, knowledge and policies related to higher education for students with disabilities. Results from this study can be used to introduce or improve services or as an advocacy tool for encouraging services development.
