Disability Awareness Project: Professional Ethics in the Classroom

St. Petersburg College recognizes the importance of equal access for all students. In accordance with the Americans with Disabilities Act and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, the College and its Office of Services for Students with Disabilities seeks to ensure that admission, academic programs, support services, student activities, and campus facilities are accessible to and usable by students who document a qualifying disability with the College.

Reasonable accommodations are available to students who: * are otherwise qualified for admission to the College * identify themselves to appropriate College personnel * provide acceptable and qualifying documentation to the College.

It is the student's responsibility to provide notice of the nature of the disability to the College and to assist in identifying appropriate and effective accommodation. Students must personally identify the need, provide supporting diagnostic test results and professional evaluations, participate in planning services, and give adequate notice in requesting accommodation.

A Counselor/Learning Specialist in the Office of Services for Students with Disabilities (OSSD) is assigned to oversee services on each SPC campus.

Made possible through a grant from the Department of Education.

As a disabled person, I find this video offensive in its current format. The video serves absolutely no purpose unless you provide the answers to the questions posed at the end by the narrator. If you want to live up to your program's moniker of "Disability Awareness", then you should at least provide some brief answers in your YouTube video description paragraph located below your video.

You are correct that this video presents the problem, but not the answers. For answers, please see" Ethics of Teaching and Disabilities," a video by the same program.

I'm a disabled person i'm going back to school and by me watching this video the professor should never put both of them on the spot like that then the other classmate gonna talk about that person.

I think the professor shouldn't have asked her about her L.D. in front of everyone. Accomodation letters usually say that a student's L.D is confidential information and shouldn't be publically disclosed. I have an L.D myself and I remember when teachers would ask me individually on what would work best for me, and they would read, ask for advice from the local departments to find out how to be properly trained to work with students with L.D's. B.T.W:Jesse is really cute! she's smart and wise :)

This video is great. I would like to see it in Spanish so other students can benefit from this important topic.

This video is meant as a conversation starter. It was done with collaboration of students with disabilities, sometimes with sad stories to tell. For the answers, consider watching "Ethics of Teaching and Disabilities" also on youtube. Many of the behaviors portrayed here are not only unethical, but even illegal.

@phoenix21x that right I don't want everyone to hear about my disabled and did not like the video
