EXTENDING DEADLINES: Do I need to extend assignment deadlines for students who have learning disabilities that affect their writing or students who have limited use of their hands?
A An extended assignment deadline might be a reasonable accommodation for students with these types of disabilities, as well as those with low vision, health, or psychiatric impairments. The need for an extended deadline depends on the student’s disability and the nature of the assignment. Consult the staff at your disabled student services office regarding the most appropriate accommodation for a specific student.
