About JANE E. JARROWMeet Jane E. Jarrow, Ph.D. Jane E. Jarrow, Ph.D. has established a reputation for being knowledgeable and articulate in understanding and presenting the issues of importance related to disability in the higher education arena. She is a prolific author and an acknowledged leader in the field. Her professional involvement in this field spans almost 30 years and includes her long tenure as the Executive Director of the Association on Higher Education and Disability (AHEAD). Those who have turned to her for technical assistance or who have heard her speak have remarked on Jane's comfortable presentation style, her down-to-earth approach to the subject, her ready availability and willingness to assist, and her ability to relate general legal principles to the specific situations encountered in the postsecondary setting. In Dr. Jarrow's own words: "I am not an attorney, and I think that is an advantage in the work that I do. I provide technical assistance, never legal advice, and thus I don't have to couch my statements too carefully. I can -- and do -- 'call 'em as I see 'em' based on my understanding of the law and my extensive experience in the field." Jane E.
