About this resource

About

Founded in 1977, AHEAD (Association on Higher Education And Disability) is the leading professional home for disability resource professionals, administrators, and faculty working in postsecondary settings. Its flexible, interactive documentation framework shapes how thousands of U.S. colleges approach accommodation decisions.

What It Does

AHEAD publishes widely used accommodation guidelines, hosts an annual national conference, runs professional-development webinars, and maintains topical resource libraries covering legal compliance, universal design, and emerging practices in disability services. Its peer-reviewed journal Journal of Postsecondary Education and Disability disseminates practitioner research.

Who It Helps

Primarily disability services professionals, faculty, and campus administrators. Students with any disability — physical, sensory, psychiatric, learning, or chronic — benefit indirectly when their institution's staff apply AHEAD's evidence-based standards to create equitable campuses.
