In 2016, only 12% of students enrolled in community colleges reported a disability.

"The provision of accommodations to students with disabilities does not carry with it an obligation to reduce the level of the course content or to lower the standards of mastery."

  -- Augsburg College

"....include a statement on your class syllabus, inviting students to talk with you about any disability-related concerns. For example, you could say: 'If you wish to discuss academic accommodations, please contact me as soon as possible.' This will make students with disabilities more comfortable discussing accommodations." from "Invisible Disabilities and Post-Secondary Education"

 "...it's the students' responsibility to self-disclose, provide documentation of the disabilities, and request accommodations. However, they may choose not to let anyone know about the disability and just try to 'make it on their own.' This approach can be stressful for both the student and the professor."  "Invisible Disabilities and Post-Secondary Education"
