Activating Adjustments And Accommodations
At Specific Points In Time
Even after signing a support plan students still have to play an active role by making outward requests for every occurrence of an adjustment or accommodation. The staff and professors at UWRF do not attempt to monitor individual students for an effort to unilaterally know what they’ll need in advance. This is because all students have unique ways of making decisions to use or not use an adjustment or accommodation, and many other kinds of variables can influence their decisions. So it’s rare that any students use an adjustment or accommodation in consistent ways as time passes. It’s also rare that various types of adjustment or accommodation may be available at a moment’s notice; virtually all of them are custom tailored and must fit circumstances that will only arise at a given point in time. Careful planning is required each time an adjustment of accommodation is requested. Students must be focused on the procedures that are used to arrange their adjustments and accommodations and be proactive about requesting them. We call these proactive requests the “activating” of adjustments and accommodations.
