Inclusion on Campus: The Top 10 Accommodation Needs for Students with Disabilities
Presented by Martha Engstrom, IU Disability Services for Students
Wednesday, February 20, 2008
Noon to 1 pm
IMU – Georgian Room
This is the first generation of youth with disabilities to fully experience the implementation of the Americans with Disabilities Act near college-age, and their expectations for access are far greater than previous generations. This session will highlight the ten most frequently needed accommodations for students with disabilities, as presented by Martha Engstrom, Director of IU Disability Services for Students. During this session, Martha will discuss the range of accommodations requested --- from physical access to note-takers to classrooms to test-taking --- and share some easy ways to handle them. Whether you teach a class or coordinate special events on campus, this session is sure to provide you with more insights to planning inclusively for students with disabilities.
