ADA Departmental Information Sessions Available for Fall 1999 Semester

Kenneth Osfield, Director

ADA: Working with Students and Staff with Disabilities

As a service to the University community, the Committee on Persons with Disabilities is coordinating departmental ADA information sessions throughout the academic year. The information sessions have been coordinated through the ADA Office and the Dean of Students Office.

The purpose of the information sessions is to answer questions faculty and staff have about educating students with disabilities, including appropriate methods of providing accommodations.

Two types of information sessions are available. You and your department may elect to attend an inter-departmental information session at the Reitz Union, or have disability service providers coordinate a session exclusively for your staff.

The inter-departmental information sessions will be especially helpful to departments with a small number of staff members. Sessions will be held on the following dates:

Thursday, November 4, 1999
2:00 p.m. – 4:00 p.m.
Room 283 JWRU
