Scenario 2: In the Classroom
Once the semester begins, there are many ways in which you can help make learning accessible to students with disabilities.
For example, you may find a student with a disability who is accompanied to class by a support person such as a sign language interpreter or an intervenor.
How do I communicate most effectively with a student with a disability accompanied by a support person?
Always speak directly to the student with a disability and not the support person. Ask if you are not sure which person is the support person.
Never be afraid to ask for clarification if the student’s speech is difficult to understand.
