It is imperative that the student also understands their responsibility in acknowledging, as soon as practical, that they have a disability for which reasonable accommodation is required. It is not the responsibility of the institution to seek out the information, but rather that of the student to provide it.
It is also important to remember that there is to be equal access, and this equal access isn't designed to be special, or more than what the typical student is afforded. In other words, as was described in the educational content, the accommodation levels the playing field. It is not designed to give one group of people an unfair advantage over another group.
As educators, it is important to recognize that we seek understanding of all the potential disabilities that might require accommodation. This is especially true of those disabilities that might not be visible in an obvious way.
