I just completed CM 251 on disabilities. I must say that my basic take-away is to refer students to the appropriate offices instead of trying to make something up as far accommodations. As a rule, I treat students (all students) as people first and so that goes without saying. I must say that I've never met a disabled person with a "victim" mentality and so I guess I was programmed not to highlight the disability from those folks. A documented student with a disability that I had in my class last term was one of the BEST students in my class. The only accommodation she asked for was for the printed powerpoint slides. Instead, I made these available online to the whole class. I think she may have helped the entire class with this accommodation.
