For problems with writing skills or time management, make an appointment to see your advisor or the Learner Services Coordinator in our region. The goal of the College is to assist individuals in achieving the greatest possible independence. Planning Accommodations ideally involve advance planning with Learner Services staff, the instructor, and the learner. It may involve extensive dialogue to determine what is appropriate. The key to preventing problems is open communication.
Some learners have multiple disabilities including both visible and hidden disabilities.
Examples of hidden disabilities include multiple sclerosis and learning disabilities. Accommodation must be directly related to the disability. Each situation will be different based on the individual's abilities and needs and each situation will require consultation between you and the learner. However, you should respect the learner's right not to share information. When you consider an accommodation, you need to be clear about learning objectives.
