Learning Objectives Explained

The ILU partners provide broad training to concerned individuals, professionals and organizations working with persons who have disabilities. Our intention is to facilitate the better understanding disabilities issues in terms of the vastly different systems which define them.

The ILU’s presentations are designed to help participants align all of the differences among separate disabilities administrative units so that the related services can be delivered along a relatively stable continuum. The three core elements include:

• Quantifying clinical assessment
• Developing accommodations as directly tied to the reported disability
• Reviewing policy to guide consistent decision making.

The disabilities continuum is addressed within all training formats and is premised upon disabilities being defined by policy development first before any accommodations system can be put into practice.
