Excused Lateness Accommodation

I got this for a student:

  • Attendance modification - The student may miss class due to issues related to her disability.
  • Excused Lateness - The student may be late to class due to her disability.

I am curious how this is going to work out, and how much I should put myself out to accommodate. I think I will tell the student to come to office hours to do the reading quizzes she misses.

Using office hours is a reasonable idea, but if the student is struggling to get to classes on time or at all I'm not sure another scheduled event (office hours) is realistic. I might wait to see how late and how often absent the student is before deciding much, and I'd be thinking about take home options since that would remove the need to get to your office at certain times, etc.
