SAAS recommends the following syllabus statement:
Disability Accommodations
The University of Michigan recognizes disability as an integral part of diversity, equity and inclusion; and is committed to creating as accessible educational environment for students with disabilities/disabled students as possible.
Disability can include: mental health conditions, ADHD, learning disabilities, autism, chronic illness, physical conditions, sensory conditions, and more.
If you anticipate or are experiencing barriers based on disability or temporary injuries, Services for Students with Disabilities (SSD) is the office that students work with to explore reasonable accommodations, tools, and resources.
- If you are already connected with SSD and have approved accommodations, please share your letter through Accommodate as soon as possible so that we can discuss how your accommodations will be implemented in this course. The sooner I know about your disability access-needs, the more equipped I can be to facilitate accommodations. You should reach out to me and/or your Disability Access Coordinator if you have any questions or concerns about your accommodations.
- If you have not connected with SSD and anticipate or are experiencing a disability-related barrier, and would like to discuss accommodations and/or resources, please contact SSD by completing their initial information form
- If you have a temporary medical injury/condition, such as a broken arm, I may be able to assist in minimizing classroom barriers. In situations where additional assistance is needed, you should contact the SSD as noted above.
