I found learning about VAWA really insightful and how it aligns with the Clery Act to ensure schools publish their reports. As a mother of two college students, it is something I would check now to make sure my kids are going to a school that is safer and with lower reports of reported VAWA crimes.

The acronym "WAIT" helped control inappropriate outbursts from a student who suffered from ADHD.

I made a huge poster with the acronym and under it the Q. Why Am I Talking? And a funny picture of a student talking excessively without thought.

I also found this article useful:

Opportunity must not be denied because of disability. I love this country because even if not true, legally they do make a process for equal access to opportunity.

Adjunct faculty can access a student previous grades if they can verify that they need it for legitimate school work.

Social Media helps to Identify crimes of a sexual nature and a Title IX coordinter should act on this posted information.

Kudos to President Obama for initiating this law :Title IX and VAWA as part of every public school in the USA. These laws are necessary to protect women and people in the LGBTQAI community and make a campus safe. 

Be tactful when finding out if a student has a disability.

Closed captioning of videoes is giving access to a whole host of people, not only those who have a disability, and so it should be incorporated as much as possible.

How will the use of AI help a student with a disability?

PTSD should not only be limited to military students who have participated in active war duties but also to students who have experienced gun violence in their schools.
