Imagine that the semester has just started and a student, who is enrolled in your general education Statistics course, comes to you during your first office hour. She introduces herself as Lois and says that she is a TBI survivor and will need double time on all of her tests. You ask her what TBI is and she explains that it stands for Traumatic Brain Injury. You ask the student if she can explain how the injury affects her test taking so you can determine the best accommodation. She says, "It slows me down" and offers no further explanation. You then ask her does she have any documentation that would allow you to better understand her needs.Lois says, "Oh, yeah, my doctor gave me this," and reaches into her knapsack and hands you a one-inch thick file with neurological evaluations by a Dr. Monroe neatly hand written on the outside. You quickly skim through the file and see that it is full of technical jargon. You then explain to the student that not being a neurologist, you are not sure what this means. Can she explain it to you? She says no, but that her high school counselor told her to bring it to college to show people.
If you were the professor in this situation, how would you respond?
