This response is an affront to which of the following AODA principles?
Question 1
a) Dignity
b) Independence
c) Integration
d) Equal opportunity
The correct answer is a) dignity. The professor is not respectful of Mia’s dignity by asking questions about her disability, pressuring her to disclose confidential information in the presence of other people. It is not necessary for the professor to know specific details about Mia’s disability. The professor and Mia should decide on a mutually agreeable time and location to discuss the appropriate steps privately to ensure they both have a complete understanding of what is required. The professor, with Mia’s consent, may also contact staff in the Disability Services Office for further clarification.
