I learned that one must be careful on what type of questions are being asked to a student with a disability. Like the reading said, "treat a person with a disability as a student FIRST. It is inappropriate to ask personal questions about their disability.
As an instructor, I need to be aware of a student's disability so that the student can have access to the same quality of education. However, I do need to be careful to not "label" a student based on the disability.
All students deserve the same quality of education, and instructors need to focus on the students, not the disability.
As an admissions representative, it is very important to remember not to assume when working with students with disabilities!
