- separate testing location to minimize distractions
- extended time on tests and in-class assignments
- Fatigue may be a significant factor that impacts the student's ability to complete assignments, projects, research, etc. within regular time limits. Consideration for reasonable extensions may be appropriate.
- Treatment or therapy may cause the student to exceed attendance policies. Consideration for allowing alternative arrangements for completion of course requirements may be reasonable.
