Popis: Contact persons at the 26 colleges which are members of the American Indian Higher Education Consortium were identified and sent surveys regarding availability of selected commonly used accommodations for persons with mobility and visual problems on their campuses. Twenty-five contact persons (96%) returned the surveys, and the results were tallied and reported. The majority of campuses were reported to be accessible to students with physical disabilities with libraries accessible to students in wheelchairs. Most of the tribally controlled colleges had student service staff available to refer students to vocational rehabilitation. Some accessibility and services were available at all the colleges. The results support consideration of tribal colleges for inclusion in the Individual Written Rehabilitation Plan for American Indian persons with disabilities.
