This student,                                                     , is registering for ________________
and has asked me to notify you that he/she has a disability.  The student may require special accommodations to help offset the functional disadvantage of disability.

 If a student with a disability is unable to perform certain academic tasks in the traditional manner, alternative methods can usually be found which enable the student to fully participate in the leaning and evaluation process. Such academic accommodations should be arranged on an individual basis and in a spirit of equalizing opportunity rather than lowering standards or waiving requirements.  It is best for the student and teacher to jointly develop reasonable alternatives.  While specific accommodations may vary with the type of course and methods of teaching and testing, we anticipate the following needs for this student:

___taping lectures                                                              ___extended time
