The Center for Effective Teaching is offering two workshops this week for anyone who is working toward one of the certificates. To register, please visit the CET registration page at http://www.hvcc.edu/cet/workshops/register.html.
The Policies & Procedures Checklist
Salome Heyward, one of the leading legal experts in the field, will continue our popular Best Practice Series. As part of this webinar series, we will discuss significant OCR and DOJ pronouncements regarding the policies and procedures colleges and universities should have in place to implement their ADA/Section 504 compliance strategies, measures and programs. Frequently, the ability of institution administrators to clearly articulate the policies and procedures used to ensure access for individuals with disabilities spells the difference between practices bring considered compliant or in violation.
The first thing that the administrators are expected to be able to produce when a complaint is filed is the policies and procedures adopted and implemented in the relevant area(s). The key or necessary elements of acceptable policies and procedures have been identified in a number of significant compliance areas. Topics that will be discussed include:
- Acceptable Policies and Procedures: What are the common elements of policies and procedures that will pass muster and what are the common mistakes to avoid?
- Documentation Standards: What practices are acceptable for requesting and reviewing documentation and making disability determinations?
- The Accommodation Process: What signals good faith decision-making and what does proper dispute resolution look like?
- Disciplinary Procedures: How to recognize the difference between inappropriate different treatment and properly considering the manifestations of the disability?
- Complaints and Grievances: Are there procedures in place to ensure that there is a safe and equitable way to challenge what are considered unfair and discriminatory actions?
