Two things strike me about this topic. I am concerned about the students with hidden disabilities who do not reveal early on. This is detrimental to their success. As noted, we cannot ask but perhaps we can discuss general disabilities as part of the course introduction which may make students feel comfortable revealing any potential concerns they may have.
The second item is how does our school participate with the instructional design concerns to ensure we are following the ADA and applicable laws in this realm. Most schools have a staff member who is responsible to ensure accommodations are appropriate for any LD student. Who, on your campus, is your expert resource person for these scenarios?
