Students bring a unique set of strengths and experiences to college and students with disabilities are no exception. While many learn in different ways, their differences do not imply inferior capacities.
There is no need to dilute curriculum or to reduce course requirements for students with disabilities.
However, special accommodations may be needed, as well as modifications in the way information is presented.
Faculty will be aided in these efforts by drawing upon the student's own prior learning experiences, using available Fordham University resources, and collaborating with the Office of Disability Services.
The following section outlines characteristics of specific disabilities and provides accommodation and modification strategies. These strategies are assigned to individual needs and do not apply to all persons with the same disability.
