The most appropriate accommodations are unique to the individual student and most often stem from a collaborative relationship among the Office of Disability Services, the student, and the instructor/service provider. There is no substitute for effective communication between the instructor and the learner. The key to effective communication of accommodation needs is to register early with the Office of Disability Services and for instructors to include a disability statement in their syllabi. According to the PVAMU Faculty Handbook, during the first week of a class, faculty are to inform students of their responsibility to self-report any disabilities that they believe require accommodation in order for them to participate in and benefit from instruction. It is the responsibility of the student to provide the instructor with documentation showing that they have registered with Disability Services and requested accommodations.
