Persons with disabilities are responsible for requesting needed accommodations. MSUE is not responsible for anticipating unstated needs or offering assistance that is not requested. However, if an event is open to the public and no advanced registration is required, it should be presumed that accommodations are needed. Primary consideration should always be given to the specific accommodation requested by an individual. However, it is appropriate to suggest an alternative aid or service which, while not the individual's first choice, still provides program accessibility.
Program related accommodation costs are the responsibility of the county.
In the event a county cannot bear such costs, a request for financial assistance may be made to MSU Extension Administration through ANR Human Resources. ADA prohibits imposing extra charges upon persons with disabilities to recover the cost of auxiliary aids and services, program modifications, or facility renovations. Persons with disabilities should be informed of the availability of accommodations and how to request them. Requests received after this date will be met when possible.
