If you have a hidden disability or health condition like ADD/ADHD, AIDS/HIV, Alzheimer’s, Autism, Diabetes, Dyslexia, Chronic Fatigue, Chronic Pain, Epilepsy, Fibromyalgia, Lupus, Learning Disabilities, Mental Illness, Multiple Chemical Sensitivity, Multiple Sclerosis, Narcolepsy, Parkinson’s Syndrome, or Rheumatoid Arthritis please contact me about participating in this study.

This study is being done to better understand instructor disclosures of hidden disabilities and hidden health conditions. To examine this issue I will be conducting a number of interviews with graduate students and faculty members at Ohio University and at other universities.
If you agree to participate, you will be asked to participate in an interview to share your experiences discussing your health or impairment with your students and to share other information about your life and experience as a teacher.
If you would still like to learn more information or would like to participate, please reply to me at ne598513@ohio.edu.
Thank you for your consideration.
