Student has seizures but does not believes she is disabled....

We've had a studetn that has had three seizures in class and we have had tried to provide accomadations to her but she doesn't think she has a disability and has refused. What should we do? Would the institution be held accountable if she is injured during one of her seizures?

CM102

Hey Everyone! Just completed my CM102 course. I really enjoyed gaining the extra knowledge of the rights of students, faculty, and staff. This course preped me to better perform my daily duties working at Miller-Motte College. The instructor kept great communication through Forums and discussion, also to my email with reminders to complete the course. The reading seems like a lot but it dont look me about 3 hours to complete the course and pass!

stereotypes

This portion of the module help me realize that sometimes we use stereotypes unintentional and that it could be hurtful to others. I will be more mindful of my words.

Universal design

This section help me realize that universal design makes life easier for all not just those with a disability. I have a bad shoulder and have difficulty opening heavy doors. I love the automatic door so I do not aggravate my old injury.

Distraction

This section helped me realize that accommodations are used to help students succeed in their goals and not make it easier for them.

If closed caption is considered universal is it really necessary in all instances of media?

Terms of Disability

Why is it that a person who is color blind not considered disabled. Clearly they are affected if they are looking at a color that impairs or inhibits their perception.

Testing your employees

We as a school update our academic catalog twice a year. During those updates we are quizzing our faculty and staff to make sure they know and understand the updates. Whether it is just a new academic calendar or if it is a change in the externship requirements. We want our team to know everything about their department changes as possible. All new employees are required to take a catalog quiz using the most recent catalog and pass.

Great Learing

This was very informative for me considering I have never worked in the educational field before.  Many topics were directly realted to my position.

Educational Background

When reading most of the information, it was a bit overwhelming due to the face I have never dealt with someone who is disabled before. But I was reassured I would be just fine when dealing with someone with a disability from this quote,' "there is no technique beyond the attitude." '

Avoiding Stereotypes

" As an Admissions representative, make sure your advice to students with disabilities is based on the evidence before you rather than your assumptions about the student" It is best to not assume, or put limitations, on any students. These limitations and stereotypes are more difficult to overcome than issues their disability poses for them.

Students with Learning Disabilities

"dyslexia – difficulty in reading (could be problems in decoding or comprehension or both) dyscalculia – difficulty with math (could be problems with calculations, or concepts, or both) dysgraphia – difficulty is writing (sometimes it is only a problem in writing by hand; for some students, it includes motor sequencing for typing, as well)" So when is a learning disability or due to past poor education?

Who, besides a blind individual, uses (or needs!) a service animal?

Having had service dogs, and breeding them for the "seeing eye dog" program, I liked this small portion of the segment. These dogs help the blind, disabled, and sick in so many ways.

Avoiding Stereotypes

Many people have been the subject of being stereotypes. I believe everyone is the same no matter what walk of life they come from. We may not all do things in the same way, but yet we still manage to get the task done. It's kind of like the old saying... You can't judge the book by its cover...

Universal Design

Very interesting. I knew of Pictograms but had no idea the history of Universal Design. This was very interesting. Now I understand why all television set have access to captioning built in.
