The ADA does not only provide rules regarding building disability access, but also to guidelines to protect students with disabilities by ensuring that they have the same access to learning and the curriculum as their differently-abled classmates.
schools need to think about the students with disabilities and how there struggles need certain accommodations and they need to be equal
President Franklin Delano Roosevelt quoted, "We know that equality of individual ability has never existed and never will, but we do insist that equality of opportunity still must be sought."
It took 50 years for the signing of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) under President George H. Bush, July 26, 1990, who had echoed a similar sentiment: "Together, we must remove the physical barriers we have created and the social barriers that we have accepted."
I learned that schools have legal obligations to ensure students with disabilities have equal access to education through accommodations and support
I learned what may define a disability and why education providers provide proper accommodations. I also learned that accommodations for the disabled are essential to give them a fair chance in learning and testing.
ADA and section 504 taught me that Schools are legally required to provide equal access and appropriate accommodations for students with disabilities. However, these rules also help classify what could be regarded as a disability by the school's definition.
In the spirit of the law everyone has a right to equal opportunity. An accommodation levels the playing field. It will be very interesting to watch civil liberties that will be dismantled under the current administration. Currently, civil rights and other protections under the law, are being dismantled; this can extend to people and populations with disabilities.
It is great information to know and I learned a lot about ADA and section 504.
We got something right. Nice to know 504 and ADA are laws, leaves not room to be subjective
Students with a documented disability have the right to equal education.
Students in the higher education community, who have a disability, still can be held accountable for their behavior. An emotional support animal is not considered a service animal.
Each person is an individual with individual needs. Do not let a disability be a hinderance to learning. But support them in this endeavor. Much legal jargon which comes around to looking after one another.
very smart and comforting laws
I learned about 504 forms and ADA laws. Different approaches can be used when dealing with a student with disabilities for their wellbeing and safety as much as others around them.
FDR"s comments still ringing in our ears ! Amazing, how far we came .The means may change but the end is what makes the difference . Fascinating review of the Asperger's syndrome .. I enjoyed reading about it.
Who, besides a blind individual, uses a service animal?
How online learning and blended classes correlate to students with disabilities?
Student Rights and Responsibilities
How to provide notification to students about their right to equal access
Assisting with and knowing the individual disabilities to opportunities.
This section 504 act was new to me. I learned through this training that disability is a serious matter which requires attention to detect the symptoms that disabled individuals display so that we can assist them appropriately. I have noticed many symptoms related to what this training discussed which prior to this training, I did not understand, and now I have a better understanding.
Understanding the importance of students with disabilities seeking accommodations can impact their ability to learn and assist with the accomplishment of their success.
Schools are required to accommodate certain things like students with a disability.
