I like your thinking here, Andrea. "Student development" is not a legally-required element in compliance with 504/ADA, but we would always like to think that during their time in school, we are moving students toward more independence upon graduation. Helping students learn to recognize and better manage their own disability-related needs while they are still within the protected confines of the institution will certainly help them be better prepared for being on their own later.
