5 Things to Tell Your Professor About your Disability on the First Day!

Inform Them: Connect with the professor and explain that you have SAS accommodations because of your disability.

Educate Them: This can help them understand your accommodations needed and can help you thrive in your studies. Not only this, this builds connections with professors!

Ask About Accommodations: Talking to your professor may unlock different accommodations that you have previously known of. Building connections is key and getting to know the professor will benefit you in the long run.

Questions?: Prompt them to ask any questions that they have so that there is a clear understanding between your needs, and the professor’s capabilities in assisting you.

Establish Communication: Establish a communication line so if your professor has important details for you; you are easily reachable. Creating a communication pathway allows you to stay in the loop, and keep your professor updated in case of any changes with your accessibility needs.
