教师

It is not uncommon for students to be unaware of CDAR, as many students did not engage with resources in K-12. 教师 or staff are often the first people with whom students share health conditions and / or struggles related to disabilities in interactions. Below are some resources on when and how to refer a student to CDAR. 

• If a student directly discloses a disability or health condition to you.

  Example: A student shares with you that they are depressed and on medication.

• A student discloses receiving accommodations or services in the past, either as a transfer student or in K-12. 

  Example: A student shares they previously had extra time on exams at a previous school or in a past course, and would like to have extended time here. 

If you observe a student who is struggling, engage with them privately and share campus resources available. i.e. Counseling and Mental 健康 Center, 学术指导, 辅导, Center for Disability Access and 资源.

Be sure to follow up with students via email. See below “Ways to document a referral to CDAR”.

• Email template to share with student who directly self discloses a disability or health condition. You are welcome to copy and past with necessary edits.

  Hello (Student) - 谢谢你！ for our conversation yesterday. It was great to learn more about you and discuss aspects of the class. I wanted to follow up with information about an office on campus you can connect with to discuss resources that could be helpful in your academic pursuits. 

The Center for Disability Access and 资源 (CDAR) works with a wide range of students with disabilities and health conditions either on a temporary or permanent basis. Their focus is to ensure access for students. You can learn more about them in a variety of ways: visit their 网站完成;完成 CDAR应用程序, or contact them directly at 208-885-6307 or cdar@iishoes.net for information and or scheduling a personal consultation meeting.

谢谢你！.
