[Athen] Adaptive Equipment for Physical Activity courses

[Stager, Catherine]

If the student is eligible for the course, the college is required to make it accessible (and safe I think your legal dept would say).  I would say this equipment is the college's responsibility to provide.
Best regards,
Cath

Hey all,

Have a student in an archery course that's going to need some adaptive equipment.  Some if it (chest harness) we have to customize pretty extensively, so wondering what other schools have done for activity courses?  On the one hand, the customization makes it seem like a personal device, so we're not required to provide it, on the other hand, the student can't participate in the course without the equipment.

Thanks,
