Editorial Reviews
Review
"Will be of interest to anyone who is in the position of making judgments about whether a person is entitled to an accommodation under the ADA. The book is particularly useful in describing what type of background reports should be prepared to document clinical conditions and to inform applicants of an employer's disability-related decision." --ADA Update
"Inclusion of documentation guidelines; brief case descriptions; samples of forms, reports, and questions; and an overall common sense approach to ADA issues make this book an exceptionally valuable resource, and not only to those professionals listed in its title." --Readings
"...this book's aim of exploring disability issues and laying out procedures is important and timely. A benefit of the actual forms and carefully delineated guidelines included in this volume is that disability service administrators and compliance officers can replicate work done rather than reinvent it....a useful book....More than just a book about determining eligibility and making accommodations for college students with disabilities, this volume illuminates a multiplicity of issues surrounding disabilities and disability services. Gordon, Keiser, and other contributors raise the big questions that need to be asked by professionals in the field of disability studies as well as by individuals with disabilities, their parents, and the lay public." --Contemporary Psychology
"A welcome addition to the literature on disability issues in postsecondary education, providing a clear, comprehensive overview to some of the most difficult, sensitive issues....[It] describes in detail concerns related to the college classroom and to standardized assessment, and it then considers both within the context of the disabilities that most often require academic accommodations." --DSQ-Disability Studies Quarterly
"...fulfills its goal very well. It is well written and easy to understand, and the ideas are clearly and concisely expressed....I would strongly recommend Accommodations in Higher Education Under the Americans with Disabilities Act for beginning forensic psychiatrists dealing with civil litigation. It is easy to read and covers a lot of ground....There are some legal pearls in every article. I found the checklists in the articles quite helpful." --The Journal of the American Academy of Psychiatry and the Law

Review
"This book is the perfect primer for lawyers who want to understand how the ADA applies to higher education and professional testing. It provides a crystal clear window into the identification of psychiatric, learning, and physical disorders, and should be in the library of every attorney involved with disability law." --Nancy C. Hill, Esq., Partner in the law firm of Carey, Hill & Scott, Charleston, West Virginia
"This book provides well-written, practical, and user-friendly guidance for professionals who deal with students claiming a need for accommodations in instruction or testing....A 'must-read' for any clinician or administrator who handles these types of student-oriented disability issues." --David K. Fram, Esq., Director, ADA & EEO Services, National Employment Law Institute
"This book does not shy away from the important questions, challenges, and controversies facing the accommodation process. It expands the grasp of tools available to educators and administrators committed to doing the right thing by the students and institutions they serve." --Louise Harding Russell, Director, Student Disability Resource Center, Harvard University
"[This book] should be essential reading for any clinician evaluating students who are requesting educational accommodations under the ADA. It provides detailed information concerning how to conduct appropriate evaluations of mental disabilities, particularly ADHD and learning disabilities, to specifically examine educational accommodation need and rationale." --John D. Ranseen, PhD
