Is there an Act for the disabled in higher education?

Sol Allphin: The Act that covers children is Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) and for adults is the HIgher Education Act. The Higher Education Act of 1965 was reauthorized in 1968, 1972, 1976, 1980, 1986, 1992, 1998, and 2008. It expires at the end of 2013. The ADA deals with school building and program access in Title III and includes all schools from preschools to post graduate institutions , except private religious schools.

Wilfredo Muldoon: The ADA helps people that are in college. The college is supposed to be accessible and give reasonable accommodations.
