Utilizing a classroom microphone accommodation in a NDSU classroom is crucial for students with disabilities as it ensures equal access to education and fosters an inclusive learning environment. For students who are hard of hearing or have auditory processing difficulties, a classroom microphone amplifies the instructor's voice, allowing them to clearly hear and comprehend the lecture content. This accommodation also reduces the impact of background noise, reverberation, and distance, enhancing the intelligibility of spoken information. By providing this assistive technology, NDSU promotes equal participation, engagement, and academic success for students with disabilities, empowering them to fully participate in classroom discussions and activities. Please contact the Center for Accessibility and Disability Resources for assistance about how to provide this accommodation.
