[Athen] resources for access to the curriculum

[Zahavit Paz]

Howard  hi,
great topic!
 in  spite, of all the positive changes, students with disabilities still
face many difficulties and challenges . For example, access  to syllabus
book list 3-4 weeks before the  semester starts. to give them a chance to
order their books in digital format from libraries especially true for new
textbooks .

Higher Ed do not any special  policy about  syllabus for people with
disabilities  it's left for the Prof's who often are not familiar with the
process of applying for digital text books.
 This is part of the problem  why students with disabilities  drop out rate
at  higher education is nearly twice the  rate than students without
disabilities.
