[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]She is a high schooler but this is a college class.  We aren’t expecting a change of accommodations this semester (although she may mention it in advance to the professor in case she truly needs help).  I’m asking more because I expect this will not be the last time she had a lab.

Our experience is the disability support teams wants to be helpful but I think this has reminded us that we may not be great at predicting all the situations where the challenges present.[/quote]

You hit the nail on the head that you can’t always predict what situations will present challenges. It’s been the most frustrating part of my parenting journey as mom to 3 kids with disabilities. In this context, it makes perfect sense for her to approach the professor. It certainly can’t hurt. While I don’t know where your daughter attends, we did find the office of student disability at both MC and UMD to be very supportive and accommodating. What struck me was they offered accommodations we never even considered asking for based on their experience. I expected to have to fight as we did for IEPS/504s and found they sincerely wanted to help. [/quote]
