• How the disability affects the student's learning
• Accommodations provided to the student in previous educational settings
• Recommendations of referring professionals
• Course requirements
• Availability of services and resources
• Accommodations that will maximize the student's learning and participation levels
• Feasibility of accommodations based on the parties involved ( the student, the program, LAP, other program students and funding sources)
• Evaluation of safety measures including the student's personal safety and that of others
