[nabs-l] Requesting a Reader during Class?

[Julie McGinnity]

Jewel.  I'm sure you can get a reader to help you with your research.
I had a reader to come during my class last year when I had tests in
music theory.  The disability services office just needs to find one
whose schedule works with yours.  It shouldn't be a problem at all.
