And so it depends on how that school views whether or not your student is truly substantially limited
in some area?
And then two, what are the accommodations that he's requesting?
Now, there are accommodations that are just not often provided at the college level.
And it's not because the law says we don't have to do this, although there are some it says we don't have to do, but because they're just not considered appropriate.
Again, your listeners can keep searching for a college that will do certain things for a student, but it just may mean a
one of the ones that always draws a gasp when I do this at the presentations is extended time for papers.
That is something that I would say that is not a very common accommodation.
Have I talked to students who have gotten it?
Yes, I have.
But actually, even when I interviewed these disability services directors,
That was for a very specific kind of student in a very specific kind of situation.
This is not a blanket accommodation where a student with ADHD or a learning disability who struggles with time management and prioritizing every time a paper is assigned to get three days or an extra week to do it.
What it actually comes down to is when students have conditions, and often it's either psychological or physical conditions,
that have, you know, these sort of extreme, very brief, you know, intense periods where a student can't function for a certain reason, that student might get an extension of papers, you know, when she notifies her coordinator at that time that, you know, she's having this problem, it just started, you know, she might be required to alert the professor and work that, you know, but those students also don't just as a blanket accommodation get a letter that says, anytime a paper is assigned, you know, Elizabeth gets three days.
So,
That's kind of what that means as far as it's not a guarantee.
Now, and we can talk about this if you want, but there are certain accommodations that are very commonly granted, like I said.
And so if your student's IEP when he's a senior includes those, then it's very likely that that's what he'll get.
And there are colleges who are very open-minded about this stuff, and maybe that's not quite the right word, but will give a lot of consideration to what a student has received.
