Public

Ask a question from your peers to help you in your professional work. Seek different points of view on a topic that interests you. Start a thought-provoking conversation about a hot, current topic. Encourage your peers to join you in the discussion, and feel free to facilitate the discussion. As a community of educators, all members of the Career Ed Lounge are empowered to act as a discussion facilitator to help us all learn from each other.

Why students leave

I feel a lot of students leave due to financial hardships or academic discouragement

Students Who are afraid, because of a disability, and hide them.

How, if there is such a way, to recognize this and if so, how would you approach it??

Dana Torain

Is it fair

Has any struggled with accommodations that they feel were inappropriate?

Dana Torain

Accommodations

What if any accommodations have you made for disable students?

Dana Torain

Equal Access

How do you provide equal access to students with learning disabilities?

Dana Torain

students with disablilities

Do any of you here have any students with learning disabilities? If so how do you handle it?

Annie Smith

Employ Case-by- Case Consideration

I like this approach which reasonable modifications must be made, so they are not discriminatory. Knowing that we have the ability to modify a particular policy, procedure, or practice in order to provide access is awesome. However we still need to be careful and consider all the ramifications and procedures when making a decision.

Maintaining the Fine Line of "Professionalsim"

How do you keep your students interacted without seeming like a "heartless robot"? Typically the harder teachers give the most valuable lessons, however some of those teachers have the bigger "drop" in their classes. So in turn what do you do to keep a relationship with your student without going easy on them so everyone can get that A?

Module 4

The portion of the admissions representative's job in guiding a student with a disability was very helpful. It is important that admissions personnel understand their responsibilities as related to prospective students with a disability in order to avoid legal implications for themselves and the school.

Distinction between ADA and Section 504

I understand the distinction between the two federal laws; however, I am curious as to why section 504 is still needed if all higher education institutions are covered under Titles II and III of the ADA?

Avoiding Stereotypes

Being appropriate and PC at all times at work is something that is written in policy, but it sometimes the hardest thing to adhere to. I am glad that in the field of education there are more policies in place to prevent these types of conversations from taking place.

Christopher Trimble

Clarity of Accomodations

I am glad that this module went over the differences between what is an accommodation and what is not considered one. I wondered when I was taking classes myself if some students got preferred or favored treatment for having a disability and it is good to see that its to help them be on the same page as everyone else.

Christopher Trimble

Having an Impact

After reading this module it is interesting to see just how many things go into play when it comes to accommodating students with disabilities. It's not just in the classroom that they are having issues, it is at home trying to study and trying to take the examinations. It was a real mind opener!

Christopher Trimble

Equality for All

Having worked in the past with special needs individuals in a school setting, it is nice to see all the efforts that the government has put in place to help them grow and develop how they see fit, not how society see's fit. We still have a lot of growth to do ourselves as far as acceptance and equality, but this was a refreshing read.

Rafael Salazar

Dyslexia and A&P

I have encountered students with Dyslexia having a really hard time passing an Anatomy and Physiology course since it requires learning all parts of the body and knowing how to spell them. What reasonable accommodations students with Dyslexia could receive in order to be successful?

Rafael Salazar

Best way to assist students

I have encountered students that have disclosed their disabilities with admissions but refuse to provide documentation to receive the neccesary accomodations. What would be the best suggestion to encourage students to do so? Is it appropiate to push/ encourage students to do so?

John Figueroa

Formal Request Documents

Is there a specific formal document that must be used when a request is given to a school or is medical documentation good enough to use as a request?
