Overview

This course, presented by Professor Brandy Wagstaff, will cover disability discrimination in the education context so that you better understand the applicable laws to represent and advocate for your disabled clients who are experiencing discrimination by an education or education-related entity because of their disability. Specifically, the course will focus on learning about the provisions of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and related laws that impact education-related services, which includes education offered by both private and public education, and examinations and courses offered by private entities. We will go over what constitutes discrimination under that Act, with a focus on both Title II, which covers public entities, and Title III, which covers private entities.


Learning Objectives:

  1. Discuss the definition of disability

  2. Review what constitutes discrimination under the ADA in the education context

  3. Analyze the different ADA rights afforded students with disabilities in the primary, secondary, and higher education context

  4. Identify potential ADA remedies for clients experiencing education-related discrimination on the basis of disability

  5. Break down the provisions of the ADA that cover entities who provide examinations and courses, as well as the provisions of the ADA that impact other entities who administer licensing or credentialing exams, such as the bar exam
