Remember, academic standards and access are complementary. Provide notice to your students of these standards and of your willingness to accommodate. This can be done verbally or in writing within your course syllabus. We recommend both. Grant reasonable accommodations.
Accommodations are changes in the way things are done.
They are reasonable so long as course standards aren't fundamentally altered and there is a logical link between the student's limitations and the accommodation. Consult with the student and DSS coordinators. Students must generate their own requests for accommodations. Requests ought to be supported by evidence of the need for accommodation. A sensible link between the disability's functional limitations and the accommodation requested must be supported.
