Abstract	This study has to be seen within the context of the broader goal of restructuring teaching and learning in selected areas of distance education with a view to the communicative and social significance that distance study has for the disabled. It aims at making a variety of proposals to that purpose.... The study [is] conducted in six steps: Step 1 consists in an overview of the current state of research on the subject.... Step 2 [looks] back on the historical development of distance study and distance-teaching universities and their constituent characteristics as an innovation in educational policy with regard to the disabled.... Step 3 consists in a group analysis of disabled students at distance-teaching universities.... Step 4 focusses on the media on offer to the disabled in their distance study.... Step 5 poses the question of how to structure the personal elements in the distance study system [information, advice and counselling].... Step 6 finally discusses the results of the study so far and develops practical proposals. (DIPF/orig.).
