Students suffering from psychiatric disabilities are becoming more common on college and university campuses. This 30-minute video, presented by Jeanne Kincaid, Esq., a respected expert in the field, addresses the difficult issues that disability service providers face in working with these students. From accommodations to safety concerns, and from counseling to housing, make sure your institution complies with the Americans with Disabilities Act and Section 504 requirements. Use this video to train your staff on their responsibilities under the law. You learn answers to questions such as: when does a mental impairment constitute a disability under the ADA or Rehabilitation Act, how does the ADA address conduct that may be related to the student’s psychological disorder, what technical standards may be an obstacle for students with psychological disabilities, and more.
