 # Accommodations Policy
 
 If you are (or become) disabled (in any capacity, permanently, or temporarily), and need accommodations in class, reading, or any other work in this course, please contact me to discuss your specific needs as soon as possible. 
 Under my favorite civil rights legislation, the Americans with Disabilities Act as amended you are legally entitled to reasonable accommodations for disabilities. In fact, Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, the [Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) of 1990](https://beta.ada.gov/), and the [ADA Amendments Act (ADAAA) of 2008](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ADA_Amendments_Act_of_2008) all prohibit discrimination against individuals with disabilities.
 I will do everything in my capacity as your professor to ensure that you receive those accommodations. 
 
-Students who need reasonable accommodations for disabilities also should contact the Center for Learning, Access, and Student Success  (118 Reynolda Hall, 336-758-5929,  [class.wfu.edu](https://class.wfu.edu/)). You can request accommodations through the [student portal (olympic.accessiblelearning.com/WFU/)](https://olympic.accessiblelearning.com/WFU/) These accommodations are not retroactive. Therefore, I strongly encourage you to use those accommodations.

(However, please note that I am a quantitative Psychologist, not a clinical psychologist. My expertise stems from lived experience.)
 
 Do not feel guilty about using them. 
 You rightfully deserve them, in the legal, moral, and ethical sense.

-Here's the deal. I'm *definitely* at increased risk of developing complications from a COVID-19 infection. My disability is FINALLY on the CDC list of at risk-conditions^[https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/hcp/clinical-care/underlyingconditions.html#anchor_1618433687270]. To mitigate those higher risks, I require masks in my classroom. This disability accommodation has been authorized and approved by the university, as a reasonable accommodation. In this class, mask compliance is essential for us (and me) making it through the semester. <!-- At present, I am in the position where I have to put my health in your hands. I have many thoughts as to why, how, and who has led to me being in this present position. I don't fault students. However, I need you to understand that the stakes are high. -->

 Regardless of any changes to university policy or mask mandates, we will be masked for the entire semester. You will put your mask on *before* you enter my class. Your mask will cover your nose and mouth. I will stop class if I see your nose. 
 If you feel sick or are exposed, please don't come to class. I will happily meet with you (remotely) to fill you in. 
 
-- If you struggle with securing your mask, I am very happy to show you how to properly secure your mask^[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GzTAZDsNBe0].

-- If your struggle with masks is due to your own disability, I am happy to connect you with student disability services. We can go through the interactive process with CLASS. Through that interactive process we can determine if your disability can be accommodated without fundamentally altering the course. These alternative accommodations could include providing you with different styles of masks, or additional training on how to properly secure your mask.

 However, if you refuse to wear a mask, you need to leave. If you refuse to leave, I will leave. And if I leave, there is no class.
