#99 College Online Testing and the 4th Amendment
According to a recent article in Bloomberglaw.com "Virtual Exam Case Primes Privacy Fight Over College Room Scans" by Skye Witley, a 2022 decision by a district court in Ohio found that electronic room scans mandated by Cleveland State University for students taking virtual tests had violated an individual's 4th Amendment protections regarding reasonable searches. Today's episode examines that local ruling, and the upcoming review of that ruling by the 6th Circuit US Court of Appeals in Ohio. Learn why virtual room scans are being disputed, and how that ruling could affect you or your child with a disability.

#95 How Reading Accommodations Differ at College
Today's episode explains to parents the difference they may find in reading accommodations when their child goes from the K-12 system into the college system. Although both systems will provide reading accommodations, there is a good chance the child will not find the same type of reading accommodations. Many of the differences your child will experience come from the methods used to provide the reading accommodations and originate from the changes from IDEA to ADA.
