Faculty & Staff
Faculty and staff play an integral role in providing services to students with disabilities. At 麻豆官网首页入口免费, DSS determines student eligibility for accommodations based on a documented disability. The current definition of a disability is a significant limitation in one or more life areas; learning is considered a life area. Faculty are not required, nor permitted, to inquire of or verify a student鈥檚 disability. Appropriate academic adjustments are determined during an individual, interactive process between the student and a DSS staff member. Adjustments, such as extended testing time or note taking assistance, must address the student's limitations in an academic setting.
The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), the ADA Amendments Act and Sections 504 and 508 of the Rehabilitation Act are the governing pieces of legislation that protect students with disabilities in postsecondary education. The intent of these laws is nondiscrimination. Institutions are required to provide appropriate academic adjustments as necessary to ensure a disabled student's equal educational access. Use of accommodations is voluntary, and, unless otherwise noted, at the discretion of each student based on their needs. Decisions about using approved accommodations can be made with guidance from the faculty and DSS.
