However, it is not always possible to allow enough time between classes. Considerations include under the counter knee clearance for wheel chair users, work and counter top height, horizontal working range, and aisle widths. Working directly with the student is usually the best way to provide modifications to work stations. Some blind, deaf, and mobility impaired students use service animals. The service animal will not disturb the class.
Service animals are highly trained and disciplined.
The greatest disruption a faculty member can expect may be an occasional yawn or stretch. It is good to remember that as tempting as it may be to pet or speak to the service animal, the animal while in harness is responsible for helping and guiding its owner, and should not be distracted from that duty. If classes involve field trips to off-campus locations, provisions must be made for students with disabilities. Transportation and accessibility of destination must be thoroughly investigated so the student with a disability can participate. Faculty members should consult with the student with the disability if there are any questions concerning the accessibility requirements.
