They also seem to be be only assured access to the specialized technology they need in a segregated rather than integrated setting and (perhaps) even have fewer total access hours each week than other students. If a student with a disability needs the equipment in ATIC to work on a project with a person who does not have a disability, must this second person come in as a guest and stay a maximum of ten minutes? Also, is the termination policy consistent with that for other MIT students? <o:p></o:p></p><div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal>Are these restrictions contrary to the spirit of the ADA?<o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><div><p class=MsoNormal>Sheryl<o:p></o:p></p><div><p class=MsoNormal><span class=apple-style-span><span style='font-size:13.5pt;font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif";color:black'>------------------------------------------------------------</span></span><span style='font-size:13.5pt;font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif";color:black'><br><span class=apple-style-span>Sheryl Burgstahler, Ph.D.</span><br><span class=apple-style-span>Director, UW Accessible Technology & DO-IT, UW-IT</span><br><span class=apple-style-span>Affiliate Professor, Education</span><br><span class=apple-style-span>University of Washington, Box 354842</span><br><span class=apple-style-span>Seattle, WA 98195</span><br><span class=apple-style-span>206-543-0622 FAX 206-221-4171</span><br><span class=apple-style-span><a href="http://staff.washington.edu/sherylb">http://staff.washington.edu/sherylb</a></span><br><span class=apple-style-span><a href="mailto:sherylb@uw.edu">sherylb@uw.edu</a></span><br><br><br><br></span><o:p></o:p></p></div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><div><div><p class=MsoNormal>On Apr 14, 2014, at 8:01 AM, Kathleen Cahill wrote:<o:p></o:p></p></div><p class=MsoNormal><br><br><o:p></o:p></p><div><div><div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.5pt;color:black'>Hi Susan,<o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.5pt;color:black'><o:p> </o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.5pt;color:black'>Here is the lab user agreement we ask our students to read and sign. <o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.5pt;color:black'><o:p> </o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.5pt;color:black'>Kathy<o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.5pt;color:black'><o:p> </o:p></span></p></div><div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.5pt;color:black'>Kathleen Cahill<o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.5pt;color:black'>MIT Assistive Technology Information Center (ATIC)<o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.5pt;color:black'>77 Mass.
