Abstract
The promulgation of Program Standards for disability services in higher education provides a research-based direction for postsecondary institutions, consumers and governmental agencies with respect to the services necessary to provide equal access for college students with disabilities. Twenty-seven Program Standards across nine categories are presented. Myths challenged by these Standards and the implications of the Standards for the future of disability services in postsecondary education are discussed.
