Imagine you are the instructor of a Health care Customer Service course. On the first day of class, a student speaks with you before class. He shakes your hands and introduces himself: “Hello, Ms. Jones. My name is Matthew Anderson. I’m really looking forward to your class. I’m a business major, but I’m thinking about being a double major in Medical Office. If I have any questions this semester, would it be ok if I emailed you about them or do you prefer a different way of getting in touch?” As you wrap up your conversation, he says, “Oh, by the way, here’s a copy of my disability support services accommodations letter. I’ll be using a few accommodations in your class, and you can contact either me or the disability office if you have any questions about them.”
