What about changes to the way I prepare tests, giving students oral questions rather than written, forgiving missed assignments, extending deadlines, and making exceptions in general?
These are difficult issues. The short answer is to call us when you receive such requests because they probably did not originate with our office. The longer answer is that we do not believe you should alter teaching style, make comprehensive changes to the way you assess student learning, or provide unlimited extensions of deadlines. What might be helpful is to remember that the student with a disability should be expected to do all essential work in your class with or without reasonable and appropriate accommodation. Give us a call when you have questions like the above.
