Scenario:
Kim is a second-year community college student
with multiple learning disabilities. She has a short attention span and is
easily distracted during lectures. She is usually late for class and frequently
forgets or loses assignments. Kim’s ability to reason and set realistic goals is
diminished.
Necessary Accommodations:
- ***Ask Kim if she needs
accommodations.***
- Allow Kim extra time for quizzes, tests, and
in-class assignments.
- Ask if she wants to sit in the front of the
classroom.
- See if Kim needs a note-taker.
- Provide tutors.
- Allow Kim to use a spell-checker.
- Provide a low-stimuli test environment (e.g., a
separate room).
Etiquette:
- Get Kim’s attention before speaking with
her.
- Be patient because Kim needs more time to
think.
- Establish/maintain routine and
structure.
