Disability Accommodations

The Chicago School complies with all laws and regulations* regarding the access of disabled individuals to education and works to insure that no qualified student with a disability is denied the benefits of, or excluded from participation in, any school program or activity.

A student with a documented disability may request reasonable accommodations. This request must be accompanied by appropriate documentation that establishes that the student has a specific disability and that supports the accommodation(s) requested.

The school reserves the right to select the specific aids and services it provides, as long as it deems they will be effective for the student and do not fundamentally alter the program or academic standards. Such aids and services are determined on a case-by-case basis in consultation with the student who has identified the need for accommodation.
