the student will trust you more if you start off telling them the truth

Thinking outside the box

It is more than reasonable to believe that it takes creative thinking to allow for some disabilities. It has been proven that our culture has embraced people with disabilities. It is pleasant to see that handicap parking spaces have evolved into a much needed social cultural change. Everyone tends to benefit from the use of sliding doors, wider stair rails and halls just to name a couple.

Empathy not Symphony

I understand the need for individuals with disabilities to remain as independent as they possibly can. However, I find it hard to watch an individual with an obvious disability who refuses help. If an individualâ€™s disability can put others in danger then that needs to be addressed. Although, some may think it noble for the person to continue to fall due to refusal of help; it appears that this is more of a selfish act than an independent one.

Be Better. Every Day.

How can you make yourself an indespensable worker every single day and improve your skillset daily?

ADA Students

I would like more insite from a professional input on how to go about assisting disabled, or mentally challenged, or handicap students without any types of discretion.

Any thoughts or comments on this topic are welcome, as there is a fine line when dealing with these types of situations while avoiding discrimination.

Closing a school

One of the schools I teach at announed today that they are ceasing operations at the end of the fall semester. What provisions should be made for the students that will not be able to graduate at the end of the next semester?

Completed RT104

I really enjoyed this class... I am glad someone brought to light how every department has to work together for the success of our students. And how positive reinforcement is a must for all involved with every student.

Access vs. Success

I have a student who speaks with a definite compensation for stuttering. He has done well so far in his program, but approached me the other day requesting accommodation due to a learning disability. He stated he was not doing well in school this module. I am hoping I was correct in advising him to seek documentation and assessment from a professional regarding his disability. Is this a good example of access vs. success?

Accomadations

Let the person in charge of handling these do their job to avoid placing the institution and yourself in a vicarious position.

Equal Access

Providing equal access, but treating students classwork all the same is the key.

Devon Woodard

Discrimination

Treat everyone fairly and with reasonable care. Is that the Golden Rule?

Testing

I feel that perhaps rushing though these courses is not the best... sometimes you miss vital information that can really cost you on the final quiz...happened to me :(

Adult learners versus teen learners with disabilities

It was good on requirements needed for admissions.

What to ask

As an admissions representative I may ask the student with a known disability if he or she has any concerns about how their disability may affect their pursuits. What I cannot ask is the back story as to how they becamse disabled.

Rebecca Miodowski

Documentation

Persons with disabilities need to provide documentation of their condition to establish that the stident is a person with a disability, and to establish what, if any, accomodations are required.

Rebecca Miodowski

Learning Disabilities

All learning disabilities are not the same. I learned the difference between Dyslexia and Dyscalculia, and Dysgraphia. Dyslexia is a difficulty reading or comprehending what is read, Dyscalculia is difficulty with math, and Dysgraphia is difficulty writting.

Rebecca Miodowski

types of disabilities

Diabilities are seperated into two categories; visable and invisible. Visible disabilities are ones you can see such as mobility issues, blindness, and deafness. Invisible disabilities are ones that you cannot necessarily see the signs of like attention defecit, chronic health, and learning disabilities.

Thoughts on returning graduates

What are everyones thoughts on having a graduate come back and speak to a class or maybe at orientation? I have tossed the idea around but was curious to see if others do this and how successful it is.

Ashley Ols

Documentation

When we had an audit. The company before they leave meet with the right parties to let them know of items that need fixed, ask question why things are the way they are and give you a time frame to fix. They could just possibly stop in unannounced, so be prepared for anything.

Keeping files

After a certain time frame, per our accreditation we are eligible to shred files. All but the transcripts. But even then, we do not have old files in fireproof cabinets.
