[Athen] Recognizing Academic Achievements of Students With Disabilities

Recognizing Academic Achievements of Students With Disabilities

Even in the educational community, faculty and administrators frequently 
expect that students with disabilities will not succeed, or, at best, they 
may just scrape by.  Recognizing the real quality achievements of students 
with disabilities is a fabulous way to counter this prejudice.
Delta Alpha Pi Honor Society is a national honor society for students with 
disabilities who earn membership through actually demonstrating that they 
can compete with other students earning superior grades.
You ought to consider establishing a chapter at your campus.  This honor 
society is spreading to more campuses each year.  This is yet another way 
to support your students with disabilities.  We all need role models to 
help give us goals and dreams for ourselves.

EASI has a Web page describing Delta Alpha Pi and including audio 
interviews including one with its founder, Dr. Edith Miller from East 
Strousburg University, Pa.
