[blindkid] SAT Prep Class District Support?

[Vejas via blindkid]

  Hi All,
  I am a junior in high school & am taking the SAT in 3 weeks, 
and to help me
get ready, I have opted to take an SAT Prep Class.
  - Our local VI program has chosen to view the SAT Prep Class as
"extracurricular" & as such is unwilling to provide me with 
transcriber
support.
  I am wondering how you have approached such situations with 
your high
schoolers.
  - How did your kids get Prep Class materials in an accessible 
format?
  - Did the school or VI program help with the brailling of text 
& embossing
of diagrams, or did they just do it verbally with your help or by 
hiring a
readers (which clearly seems not ideal since then there is a lost
opportunity for hands on learning with the diagrams)?
  - Did you end up needing to find a non-district transcriber to 
braille the
test and emboss the diagrams?
  I would really appreciate your input & look forward to any 
insights or
suggestions you might have.
  Sincerely,
  Vejas
