None of this was really new to me. I have been a teacher as the discourse about accessibility has evolved. I have also been glad to see more training offered to teachers about what an institution has to offer, what tools can be used by instructors and students who need them.
My frustration continues to be about students who do not go through the Accessibility office, but verbally report disabilities to me. It's important to encourage students to be proactive to get accommodations in higher ed. It helps clarify, for instructors, what to accommodate, and it informs the institution about where it needs to improve services for better accessibility.
