[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 370825, member: 1233"] How absolutely AWFUL of them!! You would expect that educators in this field would be MORE likely to help than to throw roadblocks because what they teach people who to do what she needs! You are quite right to help her fight this. Some things are too big to tackle on your own if you have communication and/or anxiety problems. If you get too much grief go to the head or President of hte university. I knwo that at least here it can lead to some very swift changes. Sometimes in employment for those who throw up roadblocks for the disabled, even if they have tenure. The last few presidents of our university have seen this kind of inflexibility in educators as a dereliction of duty and if things did not change dramatically with NO retaliation they swiftly encouraged the faculty member to leave on their own before they were fired. At least one faculty member is now teaching at a small jr college because he ignored students' requests for help with disability issues. I have faith that all future students will appreciate your hard work, even if they don't know it happened! [/QUOTE]
