The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) requires that students have equitable access to class materials, facilities, and learning. The office of Student Disability Services (SDS) coordinates student requests for formal accommodations. This session is designed to help equip instructors with basic knowledge of the ADA’s requirements, with particular focus on how those requirements impact what teachers should (and should not) do in their classrooms and with students. For example, if a student discloses a disability to you but does not have formal accommodations through SDS, what (if any) responsibilities do you have under the law? Learn how your actions, interactions with, and assumptions about students can create potential legal and ethical issues in your teaching. 

Lunch will be provided for registered participants. Pre-registration for this event will close on 9/2.
