In this section, I learned that teachers, support staff, parents and students themselves must work together to identify the disability, then work towards a plan to accommodate the students needs.
If a disabled student chooses to not identify as disabled, their intention may be to strengthen their skills and not be limited by a label.
I have learned that the responsibility of identifying a disability is on the student and the family as soon as possible . The accommondation should noy interfer with the curiculum.

Students and families must be forthcoming about disabilities because services can not be retroactive. Loss of learning due to this can impact greatly in their future education.
Students can advocate for themselves in terms of their own disability, to get the services that they need.
Written policy to determine accommodations and accommodations should be consistent with diagnosed condition.
Individualized Education Programs are for students who need additional accomodations and are protected by law. The schools will help the student and parent develop this plan, which instructors must abide by legally.

From this module I learned that there are alot of legal aspects to students with disabilities and I should be aware of them to ensure a good learning space.
I learned that either the student or their parent must come out with documentation of their disability before any accommodations can begin.
