[blindLaw] Wondering

[Teresita Rios]

I use VoiceOver on my Mac, and also Zoom with Spoken Content. I barely know Braille. So I usually used my earbud on one ear if I had to answer a question. But usually, I just took notes. I did ask my professors to always state the page number if they were reading from the text book or pdf.

From the school accommodations.     
I asked to have a seat reserved in the front near the professor and door. 
I requested word formatted versions of my textbooks, but PDFs were my second choice. 
I did request for a classmate to take notes during class, and those were useful for double-checking my notes. 

I personally asked the TA of deposition skills and other trial courses to meet with me outside of class and describe the evidence. Like the charts and images. 
I would make a Word doc just with the exhibits, with headings that had exhibit letter or numbers, and the original page number found on the case file. 

Best, 
Teresita
