[nabs-l] Trouble Using Computers on Campus

[Sarah Jevnikar]

Can you get a third party involved? A prof or parent? I had to do that to
get my texts and accommodations straightened out. With enough pressure from
enough people they have to do things. Write to whoever you can think of -
your registrar, anyone. You don't have to get mad (though you may have to if
it takes any longer) but firmness works. Maybe getting in touch with a
librarian who can help if you're looking for computers to use there?
Good luck,
Sarah

Thank you for all the suggestions you have given me. I talk to the person in
charge of technology in the disabilities office on a regular bases given all
the problems I encounter using accessible technology on campus. She does not
seem to understand my needs as a blind student no matter how many times I
tell her. It is rather frustrating trying to work with a disabilities office
that seems to apply a one size fits all approach to providing services to
students with disabilities. All of your suggestions are great, but what I'm
really looking for is some kind of source that I could use to hold the
college responsible for ensuring that the accessible technology they have be
installed and running properly if that is in fact their responsibility.
