在ARC无障碍服务办公室的互动过程中，对学生的残疾文件和诊断专家提出的建议进行审查.
The Interactive Intake Process follows a set of guided questions. ARC无障碍服务办公室不会诊断或建议学生有残疾. 对话以要求学生识别和解释他们的残疾开始. 对话(互动吸收过程)涉及由ARC无障碍服务主任领导的一系列问题, that:
- 帮助确定学生的残疾如何成为他们接受教育的障碍
- how they have struggled with learning in the past
- what accommodations that they have had in the past have been the most helpful
住宿是根据个人情况而定的，而不是根据残疾标签. In some rare instances, 考虑到学术项目的技术标准，可能会询问项目主任/系主任住宿是否合理.
Needs vary among individuals with the same disability, therefore, suggestions represent only general guidelines for classroom adaptations. 重要的是要记住，学生可能有多种残疾，必须考虑到. 有些学生在与学生交谈时可能有不明显的残疾. Therefore, 请不要以为，因为你不能观察到一个人有残疾的明显迹象, that the student is not disabled. 学生被确定有资格获得住宿的事实意味着学生已经提交了文件或信息，并在大学正式注册为残疾.
With certain accommodations, such as flexible attendance, 安排适当的调整涉及到教授和学生之间的共同责任. In this instance the student with the disability is responsible for bringing their individual needs to the attention of the instructor once the faculty notification has been sent out; however, students may be hesitant to make special requests. 建议在学期初，教师做一个一般性的公告，或指导学生了解课程大纲中有关无障碍服务的信息.
Examples of reasonable accommodations include, but are not limited to:
- extended test taking time
- use of assistive technology for audio-notetaking
- accessible format for text to speech programs
- testing in a distraction-free environment
