I learned students with disability don't necessarily have the right to certain things. However, the law grants them equal opportunity to learning opportunities and it is the school's responsibility to ensure that, within reason, the student is accommodated so that they can fairly access the same learning opportunities as everyone else.
I have gained valuable knowledge about the different types of disabilities; the specific roles service animals play in assisting individuals, the legal rights of people with service animals under the ADA.
There is a difference between provided accommodations and assisted learning.
Laws to protect those with disabilities are a necessity. I personally know people within aviation that have disabilities, but are actually the smartest and best in their field. A disability can also be something that may need some accommodation while others don't need said accommodation. Either way, they are capable of achieving success.
We cannot discriminate students with disabilities. They are entitled to the same opportunity as those without disabilities. They must be given accommodation based on what they need.
I’ve learned that institutions have legal obligations under laws like the ADA and Section 504 to provide accommodations for students with disabilities to ensure equal access to education. I intend to apply this knowledge by advocating for inclusive practices in my future work to support students' needs and promote accessibility.
Section 504 and ADA protect people with disabilities and level the playing field when it comes to education and advanced learning such as college or university settings. Students with disabilities are entitled to equal educational opportunities that without the accommodations wouldn’t be possible… such as a blind or deaf students seeking higher education.
Students with disabilities have the right to equal access to educational opportunities. These students are entitled to the same quality educational opportunities as those with no disabilities. accommodations made to help these students are made in order to help them achieve their educational goal because without them the chances of them achieving their goals is harder and less likely. It helps to level the playing field.
I learned that there is a significant difference in what these laws provide, as far as rights to accommodations vs protections. I was not aware of the protections built in to these laws for institutions. I also found it interesting that color blindness is not considered a disability.
I have learned about disabilities and the accommodations that are available to each. I have also learned that depending on the situation, students do not have the right to special treatment, but are promised fair and equal treatment by the institutions.
higher learning institutions are required to provide accomodations for persons with disabilities.
With past higher education employers, I was provided information directly from the compliance department after the student had gone through the entire process. This section has given me information I did not know existed. I look forward to completing the remainder of the training.
Understanding what accommodations are covered under the ADA act is important. Students have a right to have accommodations if needed for disabilities.
"Equal opportunity" is a phrase that has stuck with me from this module.
I've learned what the limitations are with an institution being able to offer an accomodation to a student.
I learned that under Section 504 ensures that students with disabilities have equal access to education and that schools that receive federal funding are required to provide accommidations and services to students with disabilities.
I have learned where some the limits lie in what can be accommodated and what can't. I also learned that providing accommodations is intended to give a student the same access that any other student would. It is essentially "leveling the playing field". Accommodations don't give the disabled student any advantage, they are in place to give the same opportunities as others. It is also important to understand that what you do for one student you must continue to do in the future for other students with the same limitations.
Not all disabilities are seen, and many are invisible to us when in public or at work / school. It's important to make sure everyone has equal access to a higher education and facilities that allow them to be an integrated part of the community and society.
