什么是残疾?

残疾是在1990年的《love爱博》中定义的, the 艾达 Amendments Act of 2008 and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 as a mental or physical impairment which substantially limits one or more major life 活动.   学习是一种重要的生活活动.  如果你有精神或身体上的问题, 患这种病的病史, 或者是被他人认为具有实质性限制的条件, 你可能患有法律规定的残疾.

实质限制是什么意思?

根据1973年康复法案第504条, 严重限制被定义为无法进行一项主要的生命活动, 或者在病情上受到严重限制, 的方式, 或一个主要生命活动可以进行的持续时间, 与一般人或大多数人相比.

什么是主要的生命活动?

根据1973年康复法案第504条, 一项重要的生活活动被定义为照顾自己, 执行手动任务, 走, 看到, 听力, 说话, 呼吸, 学习, 和工作.

2008年的《love爱博》将这一清单扩大到包括饮食, 睡觉, 站, 提升, 阅读, 弯曲, 集中, 思考, 沟通, 和工作.  此外，艾达AA还包括主要的身体功能(如.g., 免疫系统的功能, 正常细胞生长, 消化, 肠, 膀胱, 神经系统, 大脑, 呼吸, 循环, 内分泌, 以及生殖功能”).

什么是学业调整?

适当的学术调整创造了平等的受教育机会, 只要它不需要对课程的基本要素进行实质性的改变. 这是由机构决定的. Such modifications may include an adjustment in the amount of time allowed to complete a degree, 取代学位要求, 以及适应特定课程的教学方式.
