This module highlighted the importance of creating a culture of inclusivity for all students. It really challenged me to think about the impact personal bias can have on interactions with students with disabilities.

This module clarified the differences in accomodations necessary for equal access versus helping to foster success. It provided guidance on documentation of a disability and request for accomodations given that there are no specific laws related to it. The institution sets documentation requirements, but must follow the guiding principle that the documentation should establish that the person has a disability and identify accomodations required to assure equal access.

This module focused on identifying the functional limitations of the disability, instead of solely focusing on the disability itself.

I have a better understanding of the lasws in place to protect students with disabilities. Moreover, this module has clarified expectations for reasonable accomodations.
