Instructors need to be sensitive and understanding of students with disabilities. While some disabilities are not as notable as others, and instructors may not know the reason for the disabilities important factors should be considered. Some people are born with disabilities while others may inherent a disability through a traumatic event such as a car accident or something of the sort. Sometimes disabilities due to traumatic events can cause students to always be afraid to do a specific activity or may experience emotional distress as memories of their former self come up. While the laws provide for access and limits discrimination, when instructors understand and/or are sensitive to ALL students needs, learning becomes easier.
