Richard Garcia

I learned to keep information provided to me confidential, and not offer any advice or counseling to students with disability, refer them to the appropriate resources provided by the school. 

I developed a better understanding about reasonable accommodations. I learned that educational institutions are allowed, under certain circumstances to request proof of disability for the accommodation. 

This training has helped me understand that we never know what challenges others are facing in life, kindness and patience with others can help us understand the different characteristics people have. 

This section 504 act was new to me. I learned through this training that disability is a serious matter which requires attention to detect the symptoms that disabled individuals display so that we can assist them appropriately. I have noticed many symptoms related to what this training discussed which prior to this training, I did not understand, and now I have a better understanding.
