Tips for Faculty to ensure ADA Compliance with Disability Accommodations in the Classroom
The Americans with Disabilities Act, Amendments Act of 2008, (the ADAAA), revised some components of the ADA, and in the process, lowered the bar for establishing a disability. Faculty are often unsure when it is appropriate to make special allowances or accommodations for students who claim to have a disability, what accommodations are allowable, and how to address any concerns regarding students' requests for accommodations. Information will be provided regarding the changes made by the ADAAA in disability determination and educational impact, the proper processes for handling student accommodation requests, and common mistakes made by faculty regarding disability compliance. Time to address questions will be provided. Participant Preparation Expectations: None
