I thought that this list had an a protocol that "discourages" commercial marketing. >>> "Peter W. Stevens" <[log in to unmask]> 6/10/2009 6:40 PM >>> Heather, Regarding tutoring students with disabilities, you can head off many potential problems by encouraging your disability services department to "front-load" their services to incoming students by encouraging them to read 100 Things Every College Student With a Disability Ought to Know. Especially pertinent for learning centers: Chapter 3 Leveling the Playing Field Chapter 4 The Classroom Experience Chapter 6 Success Strategies Students can become empowered to find study groups, mentors, and web links to self--help sites if they are given the information. It's all included in 100 Things. For tutor training, hundreds of institutions nationally use The Master Tutor. It specifically pinpoints what tutors should and should not do to assist students whether traditional, non-traditional, or with defined disabilities. Most help students to problem solve their own difficulties with the goal to make students independent versus dependent on tutoring. Your situation is shared by many internationally. It will prove interesting to see how other colleagues handle this situation. Hope this is helpful. Collegially, Peter W.
