ADA and ADHD Disclosure
Frequently the words "ADA" or "ADHD" are used as a metaphor in conversation. When this comes up with a student, do you feel that we should move right to our ADA/504 coordinator? Or should you ask a clarifying question?
Jean,
Yes, your office of disability services would be a great partner when you are trying to assist the student. Thanks for being in the class.

I recently had an undiagnosed disability student. I spoke to the Academic Dean as she was a disabilities specialist first and then had her recommend a course of action to help the student.
As a result of the discussion here I see that I need to seek out a specialist on campus first.
Interesting learning here of the complicated process of law and accessibility.
Thanks,
Jean
Our school requires that we inform these students of our office of disability services as well as let the office know if an issue arises.
Kristian ,
Students should always be referred to the disability services so they can get their paperwork in order and be assisted.
