[nabs-l] Accommedations Letter to Professors

[Serena]

Hi Jordan

Do you really think you or the DSS Office has to write a letter to your 
profs. in the first place?  Blind people have a right to simply walk into 
class, without any special explanation, just like sighted people.  When I 
was in college, the disability person wrote letters for me, without asking 
me if I wanted her to.  I guess, I didn't think to say no to it at that 
time.  My wheelchair using friend Anthony, however, requested that the 
disability person not write accommodations letters for him cuz he believed 
he didn't need any special introduction just cuz he uses a wheelchair.

hi all,
i just talked to the person at the DSS office today and one of the things
that we talked was the accommedations letter to the professors.  Now, i had
heard about this through Jeff Thompson and MnABS.  Is it better to have the
DSS office write the letter and send it to me for revisions, or for me to
just write the letter and to send it to my professors myself.  If i do the
latter, should i tell the DSS office that i will write the letter myself?
thx,
