Title of Presentation: 7 Habits of Equitable Accommodations for College Students with Disabilities

● Session Type: Trends and Issues

● Abstract: According to the National Disability data, 1 in 5 college students reported having a disability, yet over 40% of faculty do not believe their students need accommodation, 31% do not know how to accommodate, 29% of students are afraid to talk to professors about their accommodations, and another 33% never received adjustments despite handing the letter of accommodation to faculty. This presentation will delineate 7 habits of legal implications for “reasonable accommodation” to protect the rights of students, faculty, and the institution.
