摘要：Disability issues are becoming increasingly important in higher education. Forthcoming legislation has led institutions to review how they respond to the needs of students. This article provides a context to the legislation in its relationship to learning and teaching in its broadest sense. It describes the challenges academic staff face, the good practice already undertaken and work in progress. Finally, the article compares the situation in Australia where similar legislation was introduced in 1993 and draws out some of the lessons the UK higher education sector can learn from experience elsewhere.
