Health Related Disabilities
Some considerations:
Students affected by health-related disabilities differ from those with other disabilities because health related disabilities are often unstable. A person's condition therefore, varies along with the need for and type of reasonable accommodations.
Some common accommodations for students with health related disabilities include:
- Conveniently located parking
- Notetakers
- Extended time to complete a task
- Priority registration
- Exam modifications
Instructional Strategies
Health related disabilities often require instructional strategies similar to those listed for other disabilities. The use of such strategies will depend on how the disability is manifested. If a faculty member would like more information about instructional strategies for students with health-related disabilities, he/she should contact The Office of Disability Services.
