Brief Review of the Laws
Congressional and administrative mandates require Job Corps to:
• Enroll and serve applicants who meet the eligibility requirements imposed by Congress (as interpreted by USDOL in the Job Corps regulations), regardless of a particular applicant's disabilities
• Provide reasonable accommodations for applicants and students with disabilities
• For more information on the laws and regulations (Workforce Investment Act, Americans with Disability Act, Section 504, etc) go to:http://jcdisability.jobcorps.gov/html/legislation.htm

What does this mean?
As career technical instructors you are required to provide reasonable accommodations to students with disabilities who request accommodations
Accommodations must be related to the student’s disability
![Page 4: Career Technical Staff](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062304/56813cd5550346895da67a01/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)

What are Reasonable Accommodations?
Accommodations provide different ways for students to take in information or communicate their knowledge back to you.
The changes do not alter or lower the standards or expectations but level the playing field.

Important to…
Be open-minded
Be creative – “think outside the box”
Explore and use all resources available (JAN, VR, student, center staff, local community, etc)
Implement a variety of teaching techniques

Remember
When the barrier is removed or the playing field is leveled many individuals with a disability can perform the tasks required in career technical classes.
Most accommodations are free or low cost and can be easily put into place.

Technology has come along way and many items can be used to remove or reduce a barrier. Often these items are referred to as Assistive Technology.

various accommodation options for persons with disabilities in the work setting
Includes accommodation options for specific situations. If you do not see an option for your situation, contact JAN

Example from SOAR
Accommodating Foodservice Workers with Motor Impairment(s)
Individuals working in the food service industry often report experiencing discomfort in their necks, shoulders, lower backs, and wrists. Also, individuals with mobility impairments often need work area adjustments that allow them to access their workspaces. JAN has received many requests for ideas on accommodating individuals in the food service industry, and consultants have summarized the following accommodation suggestions:
One job function in the foodservice industry that is often difficult for an individual who has grasping problems is the squeezing of a bag to dispense icing or dough. The pinch grip is usually the primary problem. One option is for the individual to use a toothpaste dispenser to complete these tasks. Another possible option is to contact a rehabilitation engineer and/or attempt to use some type of a grease gun modification.

Teaching Learning Strategies
Why do students with learning disabilities need to become strategic learners?
Many times these strategies need to be taught and do not come naturally to students with learning disabilities.

illustrations, and written symbolsPrint rules for students to use as a reference and
have them memorize those that are importantEncourage the use of the dictionary for word
pronunciation clues and language developmentTeach math skills with number strips, dominoes,
color-coded manipulatives, protractors, number lines, etc.

Create a multi-modal lesson
You are doing a lesson on how to mix and pour cement. This is being taught for the first time to a class of about 10 students.
How can you incorporate different learning styles in this lesson?
