How can I encourage students with an accommodation plan to bring them forward for discussion?
In the course outline, include a statement encouraging students who require accommodations to bring them to you for discussion.
When an accommodation plan is presented by a student, plan a private meeting to discuss the plan with the student individually. If you have concerns about a particular accommodation, discuss it with the student and his/her disability counsellor.
