And so we are required to provide accommodations.
And I really try to make the distinction between accommodations versus services.
So accommodations very commonly will include, and this is anywhere that students will go,
Extended time to take a test, permission to record a class, perhaps access, well, if not access to the software that would, you know, speech-to-text software that would read text aloud, at least they have to make the resources, the books and the PDFs, you know, whatever article files the professors want the students to read, accessible to, you know, a screen reader or text-to-speech kind of program.
And, you know, I'll start for your listeners who have children who don't have LD learning disabilities or ADHD, which is, you know, my primary area.
Obviously, for students with sensory disabilities like visual disabilities and hearing disabilities, there are other accommodations, obviously, sign language interpreting or captioning, things like that.
For students with physical and mobility impairments, there are adapted dorm rooms and chairs and even lab tables that colleges have to put in place.
And again, that's to accommodate them.

You know, I do a lot of reading and I see that there are schools trying to move professors toward what we call UDL, you know, Universal Design for Learning, which, you know, the Landmark College, my friends up there are really trying to do with their, and if you're not familiar with Landmark, it is a school just for kids with learning disabilities and ADHD.
It's up in Putney, Vermont.
There's also a school for students who don't like snow and mountains in Florida called Beacon College, which is also specifically for students, you know, exclusively, I should say, for students with learning disabilities and attention deficit disorders.
