Does anyone have experience in providing "reasonable accomodation" for
students with disabilities for access to residential networks?
According to ADA we MUST provide access to sight impaired/blind, hearing
impaired/deaf, and physically disabled students in EVERY lab or cluster.
Money availability cannot be an excuse not to provide this access - we
don't have a leg to stand on.
However, since we will only provide an ethernet connection in student
rooms, this may not apply. But what about file servers, special access
utilities, on-line literature, etc.? For example, do the News Groups need
to be on an audio track for blink students?
I'd like to hear about any of your experiences. Thanks for any assistance!
