The passage of The American with Disabilities Act (ADA) has broadened the legal protection afforded students with disabilities. Since it is most likely that dental schools, or their parent universities, have been in compliance with the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, they should experience minor additional requirements, in the academic arena, from the ADA. Dental schools increasingly will be asked to consider the special needs of disabled students, and may encounter conflicts between students' accommodation needs and clinical requirements and academic standards. This paper reviews federal law that protects the disabled from discrimination. More specifically, federal court decisions that have interpreted federal law were examined to see how the respective interests of disabled professional students and school administrators were treated.
《美国残疾人法案》（ADA）的通过扩大了对残疾学生的法律保护。由于牙科学校或其所属大学很可能已经遵守了1973年的《康复法案》，因此在学术领域，它们应该只会面临ADA带来的少量额外要求。牙科学校将越来越多地被要求考虑残疾学生的特殊需求，并且可能会在学生的住宿需求与临床要求和学术标准之间遇到冲突。本文回顾了保护残疾人不受歧视的联邦法律。更具体地说，研究了对联邦法律进行解释的联邦法院判决，以了解残疾专业学生和学校管理人员的各自利益是如何得到对待的。
