Violation of the ADA?

[curious90]

What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? I Live texas and I have had the prior documentation and appropriate evaluations to prove that I suffer from dysgraphia and ADHD. I went to my school Office of disability acommedation to give them the proper documentation to receive accommodations from the UNiversity which a public university(don't know if that helps) filed the paperwork for me to get the accommodations, one of which is notes in advance(teacher copies) for classroom notes by the teacher. I specifically gave a teacher a copy of my accommodation letter, of which she didn't even bother reading and she has also refused me accomendations based on on my disability. Is this a violation of the Americans with Disabilities Act?

They must only provide reasonable accommodations. The teachers notes, provided in advance are not likely to be considered that by any stretch of the imagination. You need to coordinate with the disability office to determine what accommodations might be appropriate to coordinate with staff. Then you need to work with staff.

Here are excerpts from the nonprofit group JED.org who's focus supporting disabled university students in the US.
See page 13

What are reasonable accommodations for a disability?
Reasonable accommodations are modifications to an IHE’s rules, policies, or practices that are designed to provide a student with a disability with an equal opportunity to meet academic and technical standards as defined above. IHEs are required to offer reasonable accommodations when requested by a student with a disability except when the student only meets the “regarded as” part of the disability definition (see page 12). To some extent, whether a specific accommodation is reasonable or not can depend on the circumstances.

What are unreasonable accommodations for a disability?
An IHE is not required to modify its rules, policies, or practices to the extent that these modifications would “fundamentally alter” the essential nature of its programs. The U.S. Supreme Court has ruled that an IHE need not compromise essential academic and technical requirements for any student. For example, an IHE is not required to make fundamental changes
to its core degree requirements. An accommodation is also considered to be unreasonable if it places an “undue burden” on the IHE, such as a significant difficulty or expense.
