Through higher education, hundreds of thousands of Americans with significant disabilities have now taken their place, working and living alongside their nondisabled peers. Though progress in the early stages of full integration of people with disabilities in higher education in the United States has been considerable, much work remains to be done to legitimize disability service programs as fully-functioning units within American colleges and universities.
