Other Information
Reasonable adjustment:
In assessing whether a particular adjustment is reasonable consideration should be given to:
•the student’s disability and his/her views
•the effect of the adjustment on the student, including effect on his/her ability to achieve learning outcomes, participate in courses or programs and achieve independence
•the effect of the proposed adjustment on anyone else affected, including the education provider, staff and other students
•the costs and benefits of making the adjustment.
•As a result, what constitutes "reasonable" varies on a case-by-case basis and the balance is sometimes difficult to strike. However, it is clear that education providers are not required to lower academic standards or disregard the needs staff or other students. In more complex cases discussion with the disability service will be useful. It may be useful to examine previous judgements in relation to the DDA.
