Please join us for this informative webinar presented by Salome Heyward, well-known disability expert:
Student Responsibility — What are the New Rules of Engagement?
Tuesday, Feb. 7 from 1:30 to 3:30 p.m.
Siek Campus Center, room 150
Have rulings and resolution agreements by the federal Office for Civil Rights (OCR) and Department of Justine shifted the balance in favor of students to such a degree that post-secondary institutions are severely hampered in their ability to manage the behavior of students with disabilities? This webinar will focus on a number of enforcement agency rulings that suggest that institutions should reassess their compliance obligations, as well as the way in which they manage their interactions with students with disabilities.
Topics that will be discussed include:
Documentation Standards — How should institutions deal with documentation that is incomplete, falsified, and otherwise insufficient?
Qualified Status Determinations — What is the proper way to balance students’ right to participate in the educational program and essential program requirements?
Questionable Accommodation Requests — Extreme absenteeism, extended time that equals unlimited time, demands for absolute privacy and silence, and modification of course format and structure.
Behavioral Issues — What is a proper protocol for assessing and managing a student’s behavior that is a manifestation of his/her disability?
A second webinar will follow on Tuesday, April 4 at 1:30 p.m.
