Each individual has unique needs that may impact his or her ability to learn, or his or her performance at school or on the job, and it is the legal responsibility of schools and businesses to assure that all individuals are afforded equal access. Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 and the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 provide the legal directives that must be followed in accommodation planning.
Murphy & Associates works with the individual and the school or business to determine the most appropriate accommodations to achieve optimal performance.
Far too often, accommodation planning centers solely on the individual, with little or no regard to the context in which that individual must function. As educators and job analysts, as well as assessment specialists, we are extremely aware of all of the factors that impact learning and performance. Consequently, the accommodations Murphy & Associates develops and recommends are realistic, balancing individual needs and contextual realities.
We know that there is more than one "best" way to achieve a desired end!
We work with the critical stakeholders to identify the desired outcomes, the perceived and actual constraints to achieving those outcomes, and the dynamic individual/context interactions.
