They keep driving it home about not changing the integrity of the course content, assignments, tasks.  My behavioral style would go overboard on accommodations and this is a good reminder that it's not setting the student up for success in the real world by compromising the integrity of their experience.

I do notice that many of our students with learning disabilities, TBI, etc make a point of telling me as soon as they get to my class.  I was surprised at the % of students mentioned here who do not ever tell the instructor or employer.  I am wondering if it is part of our onboarding process and they have been made aware that they can tell the instructor.  

The percentage of undiagnosed learning disabilities was confirmation of what I see around me in the adult learning space. I think I will use this information and preemptively before students come to class. Getting better prepared for both them and for the instructor is going to be key.

I was surprised to learn that only 10% of the population have a learning disability because I thought it was actually higher. I'm also not surprised that the leading misconception is that they lack motivation.
