As a School Counselor and 504 Coordinator for my school, I am aware that the tearm reasonable accomodations was coined to provide protection from discrimination and equal access to students with disabilities. However, most parents and even staff think the reason accomodations are put in place is to enhance student success. I am guilty of overreaching at times to make things easier for students wirth disabilities. So, I have to conciosuly remind myself that the student is not defined by their disabilities. Its important to know the protections under the law so as a Career Service Educator, i can advise and advocate in the best interest of my studenst with disabilities.
