General Information

• Detailed information about each disability area from the IDEA website:https://sites.ed.gov/idea/regs/b/a/300.8

Privacy Protection

• We are all accustomed to medical care being confidential unless we sign a release. However, many do not think about confidentiality in regard to accommodations. Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) provides additional privacy protections for students who are receiving special education and related services. The privacy protections under Part B of the IDEA are found at 34 CFR 300.560–300.577.

• Confidentiality of Disability Documentation by Jane E. Jarrow, Ph.D. Excerpted from Higher Education and the ADA: Issues and Perspectives, (DAIS, 1997). https://www.uhv.edu/media/uhv/content-assets/documents/das/ConfidentialityofDisability.pdf

Useful Tools

• Pens are available that record audio when one is writing, and can make a digital image of what is written. This way, when reviewing notes, one can hear what the professor said. https://www.livescribe.com/site/livescribe-2/echo/
