Assistive Technology as a Reasonable
Accommodation for Students with Disabilities in College
Under Section 504 and the ADA, colleges must provide, at no
cost to the student, reasonable accommodations to make their programs
accessible to students with disabilities.
For example:
- scheduling a class in a first-floor classroom to accommodate
a student who uses a wheelchair
- providing sign language interpreters for a student who is
deaf
- arranging for extended time on tests for a student who has
learning disabilities
- use of portable note taker
- use of handheld spell checker
- books in alternative formats
- video relay system
- screen magnification applications
