What is a Disability?...
	According to the Americans With Disabilities Act, a disability "must 
substantially limit a major life activity."  Major life activities include activities such as 
caring for one's self, performing manual tasks, walking, seeing, hearing, speaking, breathing, 
learning, and working.  

Disabilities covered by legislation may include (but are not limited to) spinal cord injuries, cancer, 
psychiatric disorders, brain injuries, learning disabilities, speech impairments, visual impairments, 
deafness, epilepsy, cerebral palsy, multiple sclerosis, loss of limbs, diabetes, AIDS, and severe orthopedic 
injuries.  Students who disclose their disability and provide the documentation necessary to determine their 
accommodation needs shall be provided with reasonable and appropriate accommodations.  


What is the legal basis for Disability Support Services?
In Common Terms:
	A person with a disability must be ensured equal access to programs, opportunities and activities at the KCTCS 
colleges.  "Section 504 and the Americans with Disability Act prohibit discrimination against individuals with 
disabilities in any program or activity."
