One thing that makes education so important is that it can level the playing field for people of all backgrounds. Whether you grew up wealthy or from a low socio-economic background, you can have an equal chance to succeed as long as you work just as hard or harder as the next guy. This applies to those who are disabled. The accommodation is key to leveling the playing field within education, but it should not be confused with gaining an advantage other students don't have.

It was mentioned that it is common to work with someone in a group with a disability and not even know. It makes me think about my own experience in group projects and having problems with members that weren't doing their share of the work. Instead of labeling them as being lazy, there is a good chance that some of those situations were the result of a learning disability or ADHD.

Technological advances have opened up a huge new range of opportunities for disabled students to attend college/university without feeling they can't compete with fellow students. With the government making steady legislature to ensure this will continue, this will provide disabled individuals with hope.

As a career school I feel it is our responsibility to advise students of technical standards that are required in the career of their choice. For example, a deaf student would not be a wise applicant for a vascular ultrasound technician career as they would not be able to discriminate the sounds of Doppler. Some careers require the ability to transfer patients from a wheelchair to a gurney. How should we advise students without being discriminatory?

federal regulations have become very strict as it relates to receiving compensation on behalf of students.

Catalogs gives students a clear direction academically

Mission statement enforces who we are

I do not approve of compensation for students.there other ways to recognize and reward campus personnel who work in admissions and financial aid? Yes, although with restrictions. The Department of Education states that “institutions often maintain a hierarchy of recruitment personnel with different amounts of responsibility.

Misrepresentation not only welcomes non compliance, but leaves a nasty taste with the student rather you intended for it to or not.

It is important to follow the mission of your institution, when you believe in the mission statement you take an extreme amount of pride in your work.

Adequate communication is very important

Building trust, credibility, and rapport it very important in connect with students

I feel a lot of students leave due to financial hardships or academic discouragement

Remaining compliant is very necessary in all stages of the admissions process

How, if there is such a way, to recognize this and if so, how would you approach it??

Has any struggled with accommodations that they feel were inappropriate?

What if any accommodations have you made for disable students?

How do you provide equal access to students with learning disabilities?
