Disability Services to Offer Accommodation Trainings for Faculty
To enhance partnerships and communications with faculty, ºÚ°µ±¬ÁÏÍø Disability Services will offer training regarding the student accommodations process during the latter half of August and on September 1.
To meet the needs of faculty, a combination of Zoom and in-person training will be offered. In-person training will be held in Pocatello, Meridian, and Idaho Falls.
The training will provide a brief overview of disability law, its relationship to higher education, and the roles of the ºÚ°µ±¬ÁÏÍø Disability Services office, students, and faculty. Presenters will define the term “reasonable accommodationsâ€� and review the ºÚ°µ±¬ÁÏÍø accommodation process, which includes the instructor’s role regarding referrals to Disability Services and the implementation of approved accommodations.
In addition, presenters will address common questions about high-frequency accommodations and review procedures for addressing and reporting concerns. “I highly recommend all faculty who are not familiar with the accommodations process to attend one of these training sessions,� said Karina Mason Rorris, Director of Disability Services. “This training will benefit faculty and students alike.�
