I have spoken to the student's counselor many times. I have documented each conversation. I get very mixed signals from the disability office. On one hand, they tell me that the student must self-advocate and reiterate that accomodations are to give the student equal access to education. Then I have the student telling me that his counselor says he should speak to my boss. The student claims that he hasn't done so because he doesn't want to get me in trouble because I'm a nice lady. Since I'm making the accommodations, I don't see what I could get in trouble for. There is a confidentiality issue, but he brings up the disability loudly in front of the entire class pretty regularly. Again, I don't wee what I could get in trouble for here.

I took copies of all my documentation to my boss yesterday and explained the situation. He said he would speak to someone at the disability office. He seemed horrified by the student's behavior, so I think I'm covered.

Christina, I would LOVE to kick him out, but I need more solid evidence. If he continues to disrupt class, that may be his ticket out the door.

Actually, I feel bad for the student AND for the rest of my class who is having to endure his problems. The student has told me that he has brain damage. It's very obvious that he is not mentally capable of completing the course work. I'm sure that must be very frustrating for him. As for the other students, I feel bad that they are losing some of their class time because I have to stop and deal with this guy.
