ACCOMMODATING STUDENTS WITH DISABILITIES
Providing accommodations necessary for ensuring complete access to and full
participation in the educational process is not intended to require the
instructor to compromise academic standards when evaluating academic
performance. Rather, the accommodations make it possible for a student with
a disability to truly learn the material presented and for an instructor to
fairly evaluate the student's understanding of the material without
inference from the disability. Accommodations may include one or more of the
following:
- Preferential seating in the classroom
- Change of classroom
- Faculty member facing the class when speaking and/or wearing an assisted
listening device.
- Tape-recording of lectures and required readings
- Use of scribes and notetakers
- Use of signers (interpreters for people who are deaf)
- Provision of copies of overhead transparencies and lecture notes
- Enlargement of exam questions and notes, and required readings
- Alternative scheduling of exams
- Use of aids during tests and exams, e.g., calculator, dictionary,
thesauras, spellchecker.
- Alternative access to material covered in an inaccessible field trip
- Extra time on tests, quizzes and exams
- Tape recording of tests and exam questions by faculty member or student
assistant
- Tape recording the answers to exams and tests by the student
- Use of computers in class or access to computers for tests, exams and other
required written work
