Disability Support Services
New Faculty Orientation
• Eventually all Faculty will have a student
with a disability in their class. It is the legal
responsibility of the University to provide
reasonable academic accommodations for
these students. Disability Support
Services (DSS) is responsible to determine
the eligibility for accommodations at SIUE.
All students with disabilities must provide
evidence of both disability and functional
impairment to DSS.
Students with Disabilities
• At SIUE, students with disabilities will present a “DSS
ID Card” to the faculty in the classroom. This ID card
indicates the accommodations that the student is
eligible to use while attending the University. The
accommodations that require Faculty assistance the
most are Note Taking and Test Taking.
Note Taking
•
At SIUE, students with disabilities that require a Note Taker in the classroom will approach
the instructor of the class, show them their ID card and ask that the instructor make an
announcement inquiring if another member of the class would be willing to volunteer to take
notes. An example of a Note Taker announcement is as follows:
•
“Disability Support Services is seeking a volunteer Note Taker for this class. If
anyone is interested in taking notes for a student with a disability, please remain
after class.”
•
The instructor is asked to introduce the student with a disability to the volunteer. It is VERY
important that the instructor NOT announce the name of the student to the entire class. We
appreciate your assistance in helping to identify volunteers; this facilitation of the process
makes the job of finding a Note Taker easier and expeditious. Many instructors will reward a
volunteer with extra credit. Survey of Volunteer Note Takers indicates that on average, Note
Takers are more attentive to the class and express that they do better in the course when
they know their notes are being viewed by another.
•
If no student volunteers, DSS may ask you to re-announce at the next class time or ask you to
approach a student you think may be willing if asked personally. If no volunteer comes forth,
please encourage the student with a disability to come to DSS for assistance.
Test Taking Accommodations
• Students with Disabilities for whom test taking requires
accommodation will present the instructor with their ID card
and a Term Testing Schedule. This form will allow the students
to schedule their exams for the entire term. The information
is typically drawn from your syllabus. (See example of form in
your packet) The student is required to complete the top
section of the form, indicating the days and times of the
exams to be given. The instructor is required to complete the
bottom portion of the form indicating the materials allowable
by all members of the class (i.e. notes calculators etc.), the
amount of time allowed for lateness before the student can
not be given the exam, and the amount of time allowed to the
members of the class to take the exam. ALL
ACCOMODATIONS are provided in the DSS office.
