<p>At the Us we were considering, all of them did emphasize the importance of registering with the disabilities office & self-IDing with any disability at the beginning of the term & talking/working with the instructor(s)/TAs. They also indicated that while the disabilities office WOULD help as much as it could IF the student needed extra help in working with the instructor but it was the STUDENT’s job to try working with the instructor first.</p>
<p>They also indicated that instructors had considerable discretion on how they would treat prolonged absences, even when due to medically registered disability. Both of our kids have registered & self-ID at the beginning of each term, just in case. So far, they have not needed or received much in the way of accommodations, but we all feel it best to leave the door/option open.</p>
