Ellis, Yes -- and no! GRIN In the K-12 system, it is both law and practice to individualize instruction to help students achieve at whatever level is appropriate to them. But it is important to remember that (a) while students may learn coping strategies that let them perform at their utmost, it is not our goal to "cure" them of their disability; and (b) at the college level, that kind of individualization is neither the norm nor the intention. 504 and the ADA are civil rights statutes, not special education laws.
