Disclosure of Disability by the Student

I wonder just how many college students do not get the appropriate access because they are reluctant to disclose and seek out the assistance?

FERPA, Seperation of Duties

Learning about the FERPA regulations was great. It is important to implement these requirements each time I speak with students. I also learned about the seperation of duties. I think having the seperation of duties allows us as Admissions reps to service the students to the best of our ability and not have to worry about information overload. This was a great course

What should I do?

I have found that it is always better to focus on the positive when talking to students. If you are positive and find good things to say, they will open up and give you information that you won't have to ask for. As a matter of fact, the will give you information, you don't want to know about.....

Universal Designs

How long have universal designs been used in schools. It is very interesting to me. I never considered certain universal designs accommodations,but when you think about it, they really are.

Students with Disabilities

Students with disabilities can succeed. If given the help they need, some or more successful than those without disabilities. They have the passion to trive because they are succeeding inspite of the odds they face. Embracing them is the best thing to do, the results can be very rewarding.

Accomadations

Accomadations seems like we would know what to do but it is a fine line between sayingthe right thing in your own mind to help someone and in reality, saying something that goes against the ADA. Education is key!

SEcond forum was an interesting read. Thought I was pretty comfortable with teh information until I failed the quiz the first time. Makes you think about what you really need to educate yourself on. Not only is this informational but important legal information. A must read.

Placement challenges

Given that we can never guarantee placement to a student, how do some of you ease the fear of students entering a new workforce for the first time?

Memory Loss Disability

We ran into an issue recently with a student who is a Veteran and suffered a head injury during combat in Afghanistan. The injury causes him to have very little to no short-term memory. He can't remember the name of someone he just met. How can an educational institution make accomodations for him, as the ability to remember what he learns in class or through studying just isn't there? What techniques can we use to assist him with learning the material and passing his classes?
