This has been a helpful reminder and refresher in that the acts ensure equitable access and opportunity as any student would be afforded. It allows reasonable accommodations to mitigate an impairments impact on any student's ability to learn rather than give an accommodation because an impairment exists or provide a perceived advantage. Because of that nuance or any biases or confusion that may exist, I will be a proponent and champion of the ADA process from the position of always directing requests or questions to the appropriate compliance channel and including ADA compliance into admissions trainings to help ensure students get the proper answers and support while also protecting the institution from potential risk or litigation
Section 504 and the Americans with Disabilities Act are interested in the issue of equal opportunities and access for students with disabilities. I have found out that it is important to provide accommodations depending on individual functional limitations, not on students’ diagnoses. I will try to do this through being fair and using established procedures of accommodation.
The only thing I'm curious about is how someone, unable to control themself, could fit into a facee to face situation, or would it be considered equal access to have them take an online version.
what the ADA and Disabilities Act is and when it was established. In all we all have rights whether able or disable
From the training, I learned legal obligations and opportunities, I learned that supporting students with disabilities involves more than simply meeting legal requirements. Federal Laws such as the American with Disabilities Act and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act establish important protections that help ensure students have meaningful access to educational programs, services, facilities and opportunities.
This lesson has informed me what the ADA and Disabilities Act is and when it was established. I also learned that if a child that suffers from extreme anxiety and what to bring to the class their pet cat that they cannot bring to class their pet cat. I think that is discrimination of the cat. I also learned from this course that a person with learning disabilities can cheat on test in schools. Okay?
This topic i was keep learning from when i was young. Every people has right which is equal to be same. Every people should be treat as same.
overall 504 helps a lot of people to be treated fairly.
Equal opportunity for everyone.
ADA requires protected individuals receive reasonable accommodation.
Students with disabilities have the right to have accommodations given when necessary. Certain laws are put in place to ensure equality is practiced. Though certain accommodations have to be accepted and students will have the same consequences as others.
Reasonable accommodation are necessary for access
Learning and understanding the legal requirements needed for students with any disability
Students with disabilities must be given equal access to school opportunities, and schools may need to provide reasonable accommodations to make that possible.
Section 504 and the ADA have established guidelines to ensure everyone has equal access. Cats are not considered service animals.
Its not the individual with the disability. It is how it is handled on all accounts which makes it all work properly and fair.
Great to set all these guideline to have equality and fairness across all channels.
This passage made me think about how disabilities should not prevent students from having equal opportunities in education. The reading explains that accommodations are meant to help students succeed while still holding them responsible for their behavior and actions. I also found the section about Franklin D. Roosevelt and the ADA important because it showed how society’s view of disabilities has changed over time. Overall, the passage emphasizes fairness, accessibility, and creating opportunities for everyone to participate equally.
cats are not service animals
I learned that people with disabilities have the right to ask for accommodations to ensure they have access to education they desire.
