Accommodations
- Permit students the time they require to express themselves, without unsolicited aid in filling in gaps in their speech. Don’t be reluctant to ask the student to repeat a statement.
- Do not compel the student to speak in class, unless speech is a required course competency appropriate for the particular student.
- Consider course modifications, such as one-to-one presentations and the use of a computer with a voice synthesizer.
- Permit students to use augmented communication boards.
