[Athen] Disabled student stats

[Marks, Jim]

The US government only recently decided to count students with
disabilities in post-secondary education with the adoption of the Higher
Education Opportunity Act of 2008.  Previously, the most reliable data
came from HEATH when the American Council on Education owned the service
in 1998 and before.  Exactly how students will be counted remains to be
determined because the regulations to the HEOA have not been published
yet.

Subject: [Athen] Disabled student stats

Looking for recent stats on numbers of disabled students in higher ed 
either total numbers or better total with some break-down.

I have always found Google answering almost all my questions but not
this 
time.  Actually I ought to have this info on my computer but can't find
it.

Spent 3-4 hours and now I am confessing my ignorance and asking for help

especially if you have a citation too.
