[quote=Anonymous]They can if they are proactive about the services/accommodations they are given.

Professors will not actively seek out the students to discuss their accommodations. Students must go to the professors and make sure they know their face/name and what accommodations they have. It is also the student's responsibility to make sure all arrangements are in place for tests. For example, if their accommodation says they get extra time for tests, they must work with the professor and testing center to schedule their time to take the test. Often the professor wants them to take the test at the exact same time as the rest of the class so that no funny business goes on.

Professors are also pains in the butt about giving out their full lecture notes. My DS has encountered this one more than once. His accommodation says that he gets all lecture slides/notes in PDF format. He's had several professors fight him on this - they claim the notes are copyrighted or proprietary and not for distribution - and he's had to escalate to Disability Services.  [/quote]
