[nabs-l] accomodations in public school

[Heather Rasmussen]

I haven't had much trouble except in Forestry, AG, and a little in math.  My Forestry/Ag teacher absolutely refused to cooperate, so I just made do the best I could.  My vission teacher was helpful.
My technical geometry teacher used to give me tests and stuff on a jump drive.  When she did powerpoints in class or drew figures on the board, I had a partner who drew them for me on a Draftsman (special tactile drawing board) as the teacher did.
Hope this is useful.
