Accomodations for Disabilities- Ever Hear of the ADA?

<p>MOWC,
Perhaps if you had provided more facts, some of us would have had a different opinion. As you told it, the student does not have an LD, he did not ask for extra time throughout the semester until the final exam, and apparently his performance led to the prof to be surprised that he even required accommodation.</p>

<p>While I do my best to be sensitive to the disabled, I think people need to remember that profs are human and imperfect, and I still don’t think his response warranted “outrage” or “fury.” Until there is evidence that the student is, in fact, treated in a discriminatory manner (i.e., no accommodation granted or punitive bad grade given), I don’t see a cause of action.</p>
