Does a college professor have a right to deny learning disabled students with the required accommodations ?

If the student failed to notify to the professor that he is learning disabled past a certain point. Does the professor have a right to deny the student those accommodations for the remainder of the semester/session ?

You have to get your accommodations through the university’s students with disabilities program. Once you do that, the professor cannot deny you your accommodations. If he is, talk with the disabled student services office. It is their job to help. The professor can deny you accommodations if you do not go through the disabled students office.

The professor cannot deny you accommodations for the remainder of the semester just because you did not give the professor the paperwork in advance. Think about it, some students do not have documentation of their disability or choose to try to study without the accommodations at first.

You are legally entitled to your accommodations from the point you give the instructor your paperwork. But you cannot get accommodations for work you already did unless the instructor wants to allow that.

You also need to be reasonable. If there is not time to give the professor time to implement the accommodations, then he may be allowed to deny you. For example, if you require a copy of all his notes, you may have to wait a week. And the professor may not be able to find you another testing area or move the class to another classroom if you give short notice.

However, if you have several more weeks left in the semester then the instructor does HAVE TO provide accommodations as listed by the disabled student services office. If the instructor fails to do so, go talk to the disabled student services office. If they fail to do anything, write a typed letter (you save one) to the dean of student services. In your letter, ask for a meeting with the dean. Be sure to provide your contact information so that the dean can schedule an appointment.

Just make sure your requests are reasonable as well and you give reasonable notice of your needs.

Since this is before school starts where I live, I am assuming you might not have started college yet and you want to know what will happen if you need accommodations later. In that case, still register with the disabled students office to get accommodations. Professors can not give accommodations unless you do that. Let the office know that you will try without accommodations first. If you decide you need accommodations, take the documentation the disabled student services office provides to your professor during his office hours. Most professors are nice about accommodations. Lots of people have them – and they do not want to get in trouble for not providing them.

I was under the impression that the office of disability had already notified him before hand. But that turned out not to be the case.

You have to give reasonable notice that you require accommodation. A story from my past: I was a teaching assistant for a class, and part of my job was to grade all of the papers and tests. I had a policy of not accepting late exams (clearly with an exception for students who had gone through the disabilities office and gotten an accommodation plan). One student failed to inform me of this accommodation and didn’t turn the paper in on time. The professor hadn’t said anything to me either. It was by accident that I found out the student required extra time on papers.

The simple fact of the matter is that people can’t accommodate you if they don’t know you need the accommodations. As an adult, it is your responsibility to make sure you get what you need. If that means you need special accommodations in classes, or you think you might, it is your responsibility to follow your school’s procedures for having a plan drawn up and then notifying your professors that you need the accommodations in a timely manner.

ETA: In every school I have attended, the responsibility for notifying the professor has fallen on the student. It’s also something you might want to make a habit of doing in the future just in case, because even if the policy at your school is for the office to notify the professor, mistakes happen.

What accommodations does the Ontario Place Cinesphere have for deaf or hearing impaired visitors?

I contacted them. According to 3 Cinesphere staff members, they have no accommodations for hearing impaired visitors – no captioning devices, no FM system, and no discount despite the fact that deaf visitors are only receiving the visual information and not the auditory information for the film.

They don’t really get into the specifics of it on their website

You may just want to contact them directly via email.

Why are accommodations so expensive and require a minimum stay?

I was planning a day trip to a city about 250 miles away, but would require an overnight stay. I inquired about accommodation there. Some places require a minimum 3-night stay. One B&B said their rate was $300 and I figured that was for a week – WRONG! That was just for one night! When my dad was alive and the family traveled, it was considered a lot to charge $20 a night at the Holiday Inn. Where do they get off charging these exorbitant rates?

It’s called supply and demand.
If they weren’t getting $300 per night and requiring you to stay 3 nights, they wouldn’t be charging this much. But since they are and are still in business, it sounds like a good business decision on their part.

Obviously, where you want to go is a big tourist destination. Look for places nearby that are not as desirable and you will find less expensive accomondations. But don’t expect anything for under $100. I’m guessing your father a LONG time ago if you stayed in places for $20 a night.

Can a special education student refuse testing accommodations listed on their IEP?

If they are in high school and under 18. This is the state exam.

A minor cannot refuse, but his parents can. My question is why would you want to refuse them? They will help you get a higher score.

Is pregnancy a "medical condition requiring accommodations" if I’m applying to be a teacher?

I’m 5 weeks pregnant so not showing, and I don’t want to tell people who I am applying for jobs with that I am pregnant. I’m applying to be a teacher, so I can do all the duties without accommodations, except I will need maternity leave (which is why I’m scared if I tell them, then they won’t hire me….). On all of the aplications, they ask if I have a medical condition requiring accommodations. Is pregnancy a medical condition like this for being a teacher? Thanks

Pregnancy is considered to be a medical condition. You’re going to have to go on maternity leave, so that’s a required accommodation.
Just be honest. If you lie about it they’re going to figure it out in a few months anyway, and then they’re going to view you as a liar.
