The act required
schools,
colleges,
universities,
adult education providers, statutory
youth service and
local education authorities to make 'reasonable provisions' to ensure people with
disabilities or
special needs were provided with the same opportunities as those who were not disabled. The act stated that
discrimination occurred when the educational establishment/body either fails to make reasonable adjustments to accommodate individuals with special needs or a disability, or when they give them less favourable treatment. The act required educational establishments to make physical modifications to buildings in order to improve accessibility from 2003. == Further developments ==
