Providing Accommodations
for Students with Disabilities
WHY PROVIDE ACCOMMODATIONSIn Post-Secondary Education:
No qualified individual with a disability, on the basis of a disability, may be Excluded from participation in, Denied benefits of, or Otherwise be subjected to discriminationUnder any program, services, or activity which Is operated by a public entity (ADA) or Which receives or benefits from federal
financial assistance (504)
What ADA 504 & 508 does:Provides equal access in facilities, materials,
information, opportunity, and activities
What ADA 504 & 508 does not do:• Guarantee success. Students are
evaluated based on performance• Give students with accommodations
an “unfair advantage”
Provide appropriate documentation
Inform Disability Services staff of accommodation needs
Talk with professors about classroom accommodations, as needed
Inform the Disability Services staff of barriers to a successful education
Follow through with appointments Receive new MOA each semester
Student Responsibilities
Faculty ResponsibilitiesProvide accommodations or modifications
listed on the Memorandum of Accommodations (MOA)
Contact the Disability Support Services Counselor with any questions on how to use the MOA or accommodate the student
Contact the DSS Counselor who issued the MOA if there are questions about a specific accommodation. There may be times where an alternative accommodation is acceptable
Interpreters Use of a tape recorder/Echo Pen for lectures Use of Assistive Technology Use of a comprehensive syllabus Examination Modifications (e.g., extended time, oral exams,
testing in a quiet environment) Preferential Seating Use of Reader/Scribe
The college is not required to provide: Personal assistants Individual personal tutors/academic coaches Personal assistive technology The college does not and will not make accommodations
that would alter the essential components and/or academic integrity of any course
COMMON AUXILIARY AIDS/SERVICES
Students get to ask for what accommodations he/she wants?
No, the MOA is generated based on medical documentation, testing, and other assessment tools to determine which accommodations the student is eligible in accordance with ADA and college policies.
Faculty do not have to provide copies of PowerPoints because it is his/her intellectual property.
If a student has this accommodation listed on the MOA, it must be provided if the PowerPoints were used in lecture. As an employee of the College and as educators we cannot cite intellectual property to “withhold” accommodations.
Myths and Facts
Myths and Facts cont.
Student states that he/she gets to turn in homework assignments late because he/she is allowed extra time.
False statement. No student is given extra time for homework or projects as an accommodation. Students are only allowed extra time for in-class assignments and test/quizzes. Students are given a syllabus, therefore they know when all assignments are due. However, a case by case determination can be made by the instructor for consideration for all students (i.e. student is in an accident & provides documentation).
