Educators' responsibilities in implementing the ADA.
The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) prohibits educational programs from discriminating against academically qualified applicants with disabilities and requires each academic program to develop a list of essential requirements for the program. This article describes how the ADA affects educational programs. It also presents a sample list of essential requirements for radiologic science education programs that supports ADA requirements. Documenting the essential requirements is in the best interests of the program and its students, providing a defensible basis for student admissions and the measurement of academic progress.
