Aren we over-enabling students by giving them extra help in class through accommodations like spell checkers, calculators, notetakers, extended time on exams?
No, we are not over-enabling as long as students are still expected to meet the essential requirements of the course regardless of accommodations. By virtue of meeting the admissions criteria, they have the right to be in class and are entitled to reasonable accommodations in accordance with legal documentation provided to the Office of Student Affairs.
