[Webinar] Respond to requests for accommodation from disabled students in the new standard: what do you want to do? We can’t do this … or can we? – May 18, 12:30 p.m. – 1:30 p.m. EDT | Nelson Mullins Riley & Scarborough LLP

A year after COVID-19 closed doors and opened a new world of online distance learning, schools, colleges and universities in Kindergarten to Grade 12 are facing an increase in the number and type student accommodation requests. 2020’s shift to distance learning revealed accommodation options for students that might have seemed implausible before the pandemic. As the world of education returns to campuses, schools are balancing the desire for normalcy and in-person learning with the new reality that distance learning is not as out of reach as it once thought. possible.

Join our education advocates for a free hour-long webinar that will provide a lively debate between the two parties. Should schools prioritize maximum flexibility to meet student housing demands in a post-pandemic world? Or should they be cautious about granting new types of housing? Our lawyers will explore concrete examples and analyze the different considerations that should be part of the decision-making process. We will also discuss some “best practices” and tips on how to integrate these practices into day-to-day operations.

This webinar will discuss the issues facing K-12 schools, colleges and universities under the United States Disability Act and equal access provisions under Section 504 of the law on rehabilitation.
