sheretta , If you have someone in your class who is continuously disrupting the learning environment for other students, you should let your institution's conduct policy take over. Sarah Smoger

Cynthia, Thanks for sharing. One thing that I've recognized over the years, is that different strategies work for different people. Sarah Smoger

Cheronda, We can't force anyone to take their meds. Perhaps they haven't found on that works well or has significant negative side effects?? Sarah Smoger

Clinton, I'm glad to hear that you find the material valuable in your day to day instruction. Sarah Smoger

Catherine, thanks for sharing! It's amazing what students with disabilities can do when they have the right tools. Sarah Smoger

Loleta, Agreed! We have an obligation. Let's put it in the hands of the student. Sarah Smoger

Julie, I'm not sure the instructors even need to know that the disability is. In fact, typically, institutions don't disclose the disability. Really, the only thing the instructor needs to know is what accommodations the student has been approved to receive. However, with that said, there can be an argument that knowing the type of disability may be helpful (although just because 2 students have the same diagnosis doesn't mean that they have the same functional limitations). Sarah Smoger

Clinton, Great idea. However, I'm guessing that eventually there must be a due date, right? Sarah Smoger

Crystal, I completely agree with your assessment. Sarah Smoger
