Andrew, There probably is nothing you could have done differently. This sounds like a question of maturity on the part of the student (it doesn't matter how old they are chronologically, they may still lack maturity when it comes to dealing with their disability). If the student knew he should have, and could have, asked for accommodation and didn't do so, then chances are he would not have availed himself of services once he got into classes either -- and would have been unsuccessful in his academic attempts. Perhaps this experience will be a good dash of reality for the student, and he'll come back and try again -- with appropriate help -- at a later time. Dr. Jane Jarrow
