To fulfill the obligations of ADA and 504, there are some requirements that every institution must meet. They must allow for students with disabilities to have equitable access to information and to the chance to be successful at the institution. Luckily, UD and UDL help to create equitable space for those opportunities. One cannot forget that the goal is to create an equitable learning environment to give each student a chance to be successful, not to ensure their success. This will be hard for students leaving the k-12 environment as many were "helped" along to assure the school was in compliance. As an institution, it is our responsibility to define the difference and assure access to accommodations for those students who request them. And we must remember that each individual comes with unique requirements. We cannot have a one size fits all solution.
