Supporting Students with Accommodations (for FACULTY)
More and more students are requesting and gaining approval for accommodations to support them in their academics in college. SRU faculty are seeing evidence of this through an uptick of students requesting that their accommodations are applied to their courses. In this workshop, faculty will gain insight into supporting students in their courses who have accommodations. Items discussed will include the accommodation process, common accommodations explained, disability law, confidentiality, support with the Accommodate software system used by the Office of Disability Services (ODS), testing accommodations, resources for faculty, and the roles of both students and faculty members with accommodations. (Typically offered as part of the professional development semester series.)
