Useful websites
This is quite a limited list of useful sources. Given the growth of materials now
available electronically and the ease of use of search engines the opportunities to
find information relevant to a specific topic are huge. However, perhaps there is the
need to add a caveat regarding use of electronic sources and resources – users
need to consider how much these have been subjected to rigorous quality
monitoring and quality control and then treat them accordingly. The short list
reproduced below should not raise issues with regard to this matter.

In the United Kingdom Skill: National Bureau for Students with Disabilities
published a number of very useful booklets on many aspects of developing
policy and supporting students. The Skill Journal (published three times per
year) also contained many articles of interest and value. Unfortunately, Skill
was wound up in April 2011 with some of its functions being taken over by the
Disability Alliance (www.disabilityalliance.org.uk). In Ireland, the Association
for Higher Education, Access and Disability publishes a similar range of
interesting and useful booklets (AHEAD, East Hall, UCD, Carysfort Avenue,
Blackrock, Co. Dublin tel 01 - 7164396) The NADP’s “Journal of Inclusive
Practice in Further and Higher Education” is also helpful; for example, the first
two issues covered the themes of autistic spectrum disorder and the second
on neurodiversity. (NADP Ltd. Moulton Park Business Centre, Redhouse Road,
Moulton Park, Northampton NN3 6AQ ( tel: 01604 497933)
JISC and LTSN ( note that after May 2004 LTSN and ILTHE were subsumed
under the Higher Education Academy – HEA) do give attention to policy and
provision for students with disabilities - see for example JISC Senior
Management Briefing Paper No. 15 (September 2001) Disability, Technology,
and Legislation - available from JISC at Genesis 3, Innovation Way, York
Science Park, Heslington, York or phone 0117 954 6850 or e-mail :
assist@jisc.ac.uk) The LTSN Generic Centre (The Network Centre, Innovation
Close, York Science Park, Heslington, York YO120 5ZF) has published a folder
which includes a booklet on assessment (see reference to McCarthy and Hurst
above) whilst some of the subject centres have produced more subject
specific items ( for example the Geography/Earth Sciences and the Leisure
and Tourism Subject Networks have both published special issues of their
newsletters. Copies might be available from the subject centre bases at
Plymouth and at Oxford Brookes Universities respectively)
