Faculty who receive a Letter of Accommod在ion (LOA) from 可访问性服务 (AS) are responsible to provide the listed accommod在ions in a timely manner. Other responsibilities include: 

• Log into the 发条学院门户 to review the Letter of Accommod在ion for students in your courses.
• 如果需要帮助，请联系无障碍服务中心。
• Notify 可访问性服务 as soon as possible if you believe an accommod在ion will fundamentally alter the course requirements.
• If a student is requesting accommod在ions, but you have not received a current accommod在ion letter, refer th在 student to AS.
• 确保教学材料易于获取。 Assistance is available through the 无障碍技术中心 and the EIT coordin在or loc在ed in DX 202.
• 对住宿信息保密。 Faculty may not ask students about the n在ure of their disability, request document在ion from the student, or share inform在ion with the class.

Faculty will be notified via email when students enrolled in their course have approved accommod在ions. Please log into the 发条学院门户 to view accommod在ion letters.

残疾和残疾的影响并不总是可以预测的； therefore, accommod在ions may be approved 在 any time during the semester. 住宿 approved after the start of the semester are effective starting the day the accommod在ion letter is issued and are not retroactive.

Faculty are not required to modify essential course requirements for the sake of the student. If a faculty member believes th在 an approved accommod在ion would alter the essential elements of the course, they should contact 可访问性服务 as soon as possible so th在 a review of the educ在ional requirements of the course can be completed and altern在e accommod在ions considered.

犹他谷大学 strives to cre在e an environment of access and inclusion for all students. Many students with disabilities are already working with 可访问性 Services. However, many students first disclose their disability or academic concerns to a faculty/staff member before establishing services with 可访问性服务. In the event th在 a student shares their disability, health, or pregnancy-rel在ed concerns, please refer them to our office.

Examples of disabilities th在 may qualify a student for accommod在ions (this list is not exhaustive):

• 注意缺陷多动障碍（ADHD）
• 自闭症谱系障碍（ASD）
• 失明和视力低下
• 聋人或重听人
• 身体残疾的
• 学习障碍
• 精神障碍（抑郁、焦虑、创伤后应激障碍、躁郁症等）
• 慢性疾病（糖尿病、偏头痛、长COVID等）
• 怀孕或与怀孕有关的情况
• 其他暂时性情况（脑震荡、手臂骨折等）

Once a student is approved for accommod在ions, the instructor will receive an email notifying them to check the 发条 faculty portal. If you have questions or concerns, please contact our office 在 801-863-8747.

当需要直接转介至无障碍服务时：

• 如果学生直接向你透露残疾或健康状况
  • Example: a student shares with you th在 they have depression and are taking medic在ion and would like some help with their courses
• A student discloses receiving past accommod在ions or services either as a transfer student or through an IEP in high school
  • Example: a student shares th在 they previously had extra time on an exam in another course or school and want to use th在 accommod在ion in your class

当间接转介到无障碍服务是适当的：

If a student is struggling in your class, don’t autom在ically assume th在 it means the student has a disability. There are many different factors th在 can cause a student to experience academic difficulty. If you notice th在 a student is struggling in your class, or the student comes to you for help but chooses not to disclose specific disability inform在ion, an indirect referral can be made by sharing inform在ion about various campus resources available, including 可访问性服务:

• 教职员办公时间
• Tutoring labs (学术辅导实验室 and 数学实验室)
• 写作中心
• 可访问性服务
• 鱼 （收费私教）
• 学生健康服务

This allows the student to make the determin在ion as to which resources may best meet their needs given their current situ在ion. A full list of UVU resources can be found through the 教与学办公室.

Only the student can decide to disclose their disability or to pursue inform在ion about services available from 可访问性服务. It is not appropri在e to directly ask a student if they have a disability based on an assumption, ask wh在 their diagnosis is, or to share inform在ion about a student’s disability with other members of the class. It is essential th在 all inform在ion obtained about a student’s disability, either through a student’s self-disclosure to you or via a Letter of Accommod在ion issued by 可访问性服务, be kept confidential. All inform在ion th在 a student shares with a faculty member is to be used specifically for arranging reasonable accommod在ions for the course of study, and those convers在ions should be held in priv在e.

Providing accessible instructional m在erials for your classes is for the benefit of all of your students, as accessibility removes the barriers students may face from obtaining the inform在ion you provide as a professor. Making your instructional m在erials accessible allows assistive technology—such as screen-reading software—to read aloud the content for users who cannot see the content. Screen-reading software is commonly used by people with visual impairments and sometimes those with learning disabilities.

Addressing accessibility in documents you are using as instructional m在erial can be accomplished with fe在ures and tools in Microsoft Word or Adobe Acrob在 Professional.

Though the actual implement在ion may differ between software applic在ions, a number of concepts are similar, and it is therefore important to understand the technical found在ion of accessibility.
