Academic Accommodations for Students with Disabilities [From the hard copy book Tools for Teaching by Barbara Gross Davis; Jossey-Bass Publishers: San Francisco, 1993. Linking to this book chapter from other websites is permissible. However, the contents of this chapter may not be copied, printed, or distributed in hard copy form without permission.] Students who have a disability, particularly a learning disability, are a rapidly growing population on college campuses. Though it is difficult to obtain accurate figures, between 3 and 10 percent of college students report having physical or learning disabilities that require compensatory classroom teaching accommodations (City University of New York Committee for the Disabled, 1988; Project EASI, 1991; Smith, 1989). Such accommodations are neither difficult to provide nor distracting to the rest of the class. In fact, many of these accommodations may make learning easier for all your students. General Strategies Ask your students to clarify any special needs.

Digest EDO-FL-93-04 See other CAL Digests on special populations Foreign Language Requirements And Students With Learning Disabilities Vickie Barr, HEATH Resource Center At the April 1992 Foreign Language Learning and Learning Disabilities Conference held at the American University in Washington, DC, the following issues emerged related to the dilemma of foreign language requirements for college students with learning disabilities. Increasing numbers of students with identified learning disabilities are now entering U.S. colleges and universities. Expectations are emerging across the country for students to study a foreign language in elementary, junior high, or high school. More and more colleges and universities expect proficiency in a foreign language upon college entry or prior to college graduation. Recent findings show that most students with learning disabilities have inordinate difficulties in foreign language classes. Many students and professionals question the reasonableness of foreign language requirements for students with learning disabilities. However, according to Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, colleges and universities are not obligated to waive foreign language requirements for students with learning disabilities, nor are they required to provide course substitutions. Thus, colleges and universities that do provide waivers or substitutions do so on a voluntary basis.

43. Special Educational Needs And Disability Act Corlett, Policy Director – Higher Education The special Educational needs understood that many specialist residential colleges for disabled people will http://www.skill.org.uk/news/senda.asp

Special Educational Needs and Disability Act The Special Educational Needs and Disability Act became law on 11 May 2001. As a result, discrimination against disabled students in the provision of education, training and other related services will become unlawful. The legislation will apply in England, Wales and Scotland but not, as yet, in Northern Ireland. The new Act covers pre- and post-16 education, but the following article deals only with post-16 issues. Who will the Act protect? Who will have responsibilities under the new law? What does the Act cover? to top What will education providers have to do? The anticipatory nature of the legislation should mean that the needs of some disabled students will be met automatically. In other cases, adjustments will need to be made for individuals in response to particular needs. There will thus be a responsibility on education providers to do what they can to find out whether individuals have disability-related needs. However, if an education provider has made reasonable attempts to find out, but an individual student has chosen not to disclose their disability or need, education providers will not be liable for any failure to make specific individual adjustments. to top Redress The Disability Rights Commission is being asked to set up a conciliation service, which it is hoped will deal with most complaints in a speedy and effective way. If both parties do not agree to conciliation, or if conciliation fails, students may take cases to court (the county court in England and Wales and the sheriff court in Scotland). Courts will have the power not only to determine the rights of the case, but also award compensation and impose injunctions or interdicts to ensure discriminatory practices are reviewed.

Anticipate any special needs you may have and develop a http://www.stfx.ca/campus/stu-serv/disabled-students/success/describe.html

HOW COLLEGE STUDENTS WITH LEARNING DISABILITIES COULD DESCRIBE THEIR DISABILITIES TO INSTRUCTORS Quoted from: Loring Brinkenhoff. (November, 1986). LDialogue. Spectrum. Madison, WI:University of Wisconsin, McBurney Resource Center, page 4. The decision whether or not to disclose a learning disability is a very personal matter and one that varies from individual to individual. Some students are reluctant to disclose their disabilities for fear that disclosure may negatively bias their professors' perceptions of them. These students may also feel that they can successfully compensate for their disabilities in a particular class. Although compensating for a disability may appear admirable, it can also backfire if the student fails the first exam. At that point, the distraught student has to approach the professor, knowing that it is probably too late to change his/her first exam grade. As a general rule, it is better to disclose to professors and to do so early in the semester, rather than to risk saying nothing about the disability. A few general suggestions for students concerning disclosure are presented below. First, make an appointment with your professor (not the teaching assistant) during his/her office hours to discuss your learning disability and possible accommodations you may need in the course. You may choose to use the telephone to set up the appointment, or you may prefer to arrange an appointment with the professor immediately after the first class. Don't tell your life story to the professor at that timejust set up an appointment. Before your appointment with the professor, you may want to practice what you are going to say with a resource person from the Counselling Centre, or a student who has been through the process. He/she can assist you by suggesting how to best approach professors and how to be a self-advocate.

Contact Us Disabilities Overview The needs of persons with differing abilities are as unique as the individual. Identifying, understanding, and accepting your disability is the first step to becoming an independent person. Meeting the needs of students at the post-secondary level represents a cross-section of special challenges. They include blind/low vision, deaf/hard of hearing, mobility impaired, learning disabled, or any other challenges a student may confront in obtaining their goal. The biggest challenge posed by a disability maybe breaking the social barrier: Knowing your own limitations and capabilities is the key for you to be able to set realistic goals. Many people are uncomfortable with a disabled person, so try to make them feel at ease; give them a chance to overcome those fears; fears which at sometime you as a disabled person might have had as well. As part of self-directed learning we encourage and support all of our students to be active and involved. Blind/Low Vision Blind/low vision individuals are enrolling in the Ontario Colleges in increasing numbers, and are, thereby, creating demands for accommodations to be provided by these institutions.

Many of these accommodations are granted. The most common modification is extended time for test administration, although large print versions of tests, readers for tests, and other types of accommodations are also provided. When these accommodations are granted, many of those taking the tests with modifications are unaware that the score reports for such testing usually are sent to colleges or universities with a "flag" or other designation indicating that the test was given under nonstandard conditions. This nation currently embraces important social policy goals of allowing persons with disabilities to participate as fully as possible in society without having to face negative bias or stereotypes. For too long, many individuals with disabilities have had to confront unfair presumptions about their abilities to succeed in education and employment. There are now laws in many states and two federal laws designed to prohibit discrimination against individuals with disabilities.

Travel New York City August 2002 College Choices for Students With Special Needs By Zaher Karp College is the anticipated fork in the road for many students, but for those with special needs, this shift is far more uncertain. For students who suffer from attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (AD/HD), dyslexia, or another learning disability, what are their postsecondary education options? Several programs and schools have been established to cater specifically to students with disabilities, including Gallaudet University, Landmark College, and the SALT program at the University of Arizona. Founded in 1864 by an act of Congress, Gallaudet University (www.gallaudet.edu) in Washington D.C. has been dedicated to the education of the deaf and hard of hearing. The bill was signed by Abraham Lincoln, and Gallaudet College was born. It remained Gallaudet College until 1986, where another act of Congress approved university status. “Gallaudet University remains the only liberal arts University for the deaf in the entire world,” said Mercy Coogan, a university spokesperson. This institution teaches approximately 2000 undergraduate and graduate students; numbers that were previously unimaginable from its initial enrollment of eight students. This upcoming semester, for the second time in the history of Gallaudet, hearing students will be admitted. These students have expressed a good deal of interest and are, of course, fluent in sign language. They are often the children of deaf adults.
