Hi, I spoke with a colleague of mine who has been the director of our Masters of Disabilities Services for Secondary Students program, and I am going to past his answer below. I'm not naming him because I didn't ask him for permission to do so (even though I'm fairly certain he wouldn't mind).
He says: Just because a student states that they require this accommodation doesn't mean DSS has suggested or approved it. I would hope Professor Fallshore would know Central Washington's procedures for accommodations. Next, the professor does have a say about an accommodation even if DSS suggests it as reasonable. If the professor can show how having notes during an exam would lower standards, the accommodation doesn't have to be allowed. Interesting to me is that Professor Fallshore assumes the student has a brain injury! There could be many reasons for a short-term memory deficit. There are also many accommodations that could be reasonable. Central Washington University must have policies and procedures. The faculty member needs to become better informed because there are many more that will ask for accommodations. - - - - - - - I think, however, that Professor Fallshore has already answered his own question in his follow-up post.
