we should give all students an oppertunity to sucseed, regardless of their challenges

Sometimes, certian handicapped accesible people will need harware to interact with people, like a sif and puff device to allow wheelchair movement or mouse interaction

I think its important to be sensitive to students needs and attentive based on the situation

This unit helped me understand the distinction between providing accommodations for access and providing accommodations for success. I posed a question in Forum 2 regarding a current student that has not been successful in passing exams. Nobody on campus is aware of any documented disabilities. So, based on my understanding now of the difference between accommodating for access vs. success, the other instructor that allowed this student to take an exam in a more private, quiet setting was accommodating for success. Is this correct?

I currently have a student that is averaging a 45% - 50% on exams. In class, the individual seems to understand the material and participates in discussions. However, when it comes time for the exam there seems to be a mental block. I have spoken to this individual to ask if there was anything I could do to help and to find out what she thinks the problem might be. She made a comment that she often gets text anxiety. However, she has also already taken exams that thought she did really well, only to get another low grade. Another instructor allowed this student to take her exam in a more private location, thinking the stress of being in the class with others may be part of the issue. But test scores did not improve. Any suggestions?

I hope that someone can help me. After reading this chapter, I couldnt help but think about graduates. If a school remains open for over 10-20 years and does not close, is there ever a time when older records, like transcripts, can be released to the state to hold? Would a graduate's permission be needed to do this?

Sometimes it is difficult for me to not over accommadate students with disabilities. Logically, I realize that they are in college and desire to be treated as normal as possible. However, some disabilities are so obvious that it pulls on my empathy cord and makes it difficult not to reach out when not asked.

Disabilities are the moments that we can shine as a faculty memeber and a team. I think ultimately the biggest issues lay within being able to recognize and accomendate these issues. Are you realizing that this opportunity?

I found this section very interesting the differences between LD and ADHD. I never really realized the different symptoms and behavioral problems associated with the two. Very informative.

I thinks its great how this section explains the different accommodations, how they work and are used in different situations. I found the material very easy to understand and interesting.

I think the article was a great article, because alot of people have a perceived stereotype of an individual before they formally meet them or get to know them.

I think Section 504 and the Rehabilitation Act are great because I personally have a sister with a disability and I feel its only fair she is treated the same way as all the other students get treated.

students with disability can and have creat challenges in the classroom, however this is the challenge that I love the most. I often have students sharing their mental health problem with me.

What happens if a student with a disability does not disclose that they have a disability right away and are only stright forward after questioning them regarding their poor performance are we obligated to go back and make a accomadations to previous work in the middle of a quarter.

I think evryone should have the right to an education regardless of their handicap.

Not easy to recognize, if you have a large class. Any thoughts?

Specifically what to do to provide proof of "Learning Outcome." Or specifics of Self-Study and CEP for each department.

We don't have a program for that at this time, but we do receive a positive feed back from the school of our good efforts.

At our school, there hasn't been an impact, we are still moving forward with positive results
