Case Studies

Debbie - Administration

Case Study - Debbie Case Study - Debbie

Debbie is a student at a school. One of the rules of the school is that students must wear a uniform. Girls must wear a skirt. Debbie has severe asthma that is made worse when she is cold. She is warmer when she is wearing long pants that cover her legs. This means her asthma is better too. When Debbie brings this up with the school, they refuse to change their policy so she can wear pants in the winter to keep warmer. Debbie makes a complaint to HREOC because her talks with the school have not fixed the situation.

David - Teaching

Case Study - David Case Study - David

David is a university student. He has a vision impairment. David needs his course materials printed in large print. On several occasions one of his teachers forgets to provide David with large print material. He also refuses to read the material out in class for David because he says it would take too much time. David complains to the head of the university. David, the teacher and the head of the university meet. The teacher agrees that he will do his best to ensure all material will be in large print for David before each class in the future. If this is not possible, David and the teacher agree to meet after those classes to make sure that David is clear on what material has been covered. The teacher also agrees to make the material available in large print as soon as possible after those classes.
