Ohio Regulations

One of the Ohio regulations you have listed is as follows (**emphasis added**): An enrollment may be canceled by an applicant student within **five calendar days** after midnight of the day on which the enrollment agreement was completed. An applicant student must request cancellation in writing or via electronic mail within this **five-working-day** period. The student shall be given a refund of all monies paid to the school or its representative. So...which is it? Five "calendar days" or five "working days"? Or is there a difference?

When to accomodate, and when not to....

In my field, I instruct students on an even keel. It is the students responsibility to do the assigned work. It is my resposibility to make sure that all accesses to there educaton is met. When a student isnt doing well, and starts using the "I have a learning disability", issue. Then I think that there should be a more thorough insight to that students issue, as to , are they truly struggling due to a LD, or are they using a crutch just to make things easier and get by. I see this often, students who don't, that take advantage away from those who do.....

More than one

I find that in the class I instruct,I am constantly changing up my approach to lecture. With a student that has Asberger's, and another with ADHD, there a re definitely challenges i meet on almost a daily basis. These students do take special considerations and most importantly, must be addressed accordingly. Also being fair to the other students without these suituations.

Knowledge is the best.

I think that most people, generally have an idea of how to "treat" persons of disability. Most oftenl, I find people are judgemental because they dono't know, hence, comes the mistreatment. Our institution and especially the course I instruct, has a class devoted especially to SPecial Populations. Before the student even gets a chance to have a second opinion, they are provided with the tools to "level the playing field". Knowledge is invaluable.

It was good to know this stuff

Stereotypes

Why is it not acceptable to ask about disabilities on a document prior to acceptance and it is okay to ask a persons race for financial aid? Seems like the same thing? It's like asking a juror to disregard counsel's last statement isn't it? As a human being it's hard to "unknow" something.

Accomodations

If the law doesn't mandate how the accomodations are made, how can it be ensured that proper arrangements are made for a particular student with a particular disability?

ADHD

I teach cosmetology and a great period of my student's day is spent working independently on applications. How can I keep students with ADHD on task during this time?

Social Disabilities

What are some examples of social disabilities and what defines the severity?

Section 504 vs. ADA

The difference between Section 504 and ADA was not very clear to me. Is the ADA an extension of section 504? I appreciate your help!!
