AHEAD

The Association on Higher Education And Disability, a professional organization that provides resources, guidelines, and program standards for disability services offices in postsecondary education. AHEAD develops standards that outline minimum essential services disability services offices should provide to students with disabilities, and offers the Institutional Disability Services Site Assessment tool for evaluating the availability and depth of information on disability services websites. AHEAD guidelines are widely referenced by U.S. colleges and universities in developing their accommodation policies and procedures, though individual institutions have significant discretion in how they interpret and implement these standards.
