While any student may disclose disability at any point during the semester, we have found it helpful to take a “snapshot” of students who have gone through this process and been determined eligible to request reasonable accommodations with the broader campus community. This information may be of interest to those planning their curriculum to include their students with disabilities; it’s also being provided directly for the support of people with disabilities, a reminder that you are not alone.
