[nabs-l] the test accomodations

[Ashley Bramlett]

I have to take the readers they provide for tests. If I hire a reader 
outside class to study or read the text, sure I can interview and pick whom 
I want.
But for tests and quizzes, I have to use their readers.

I haven't used readers since I am a partial and use cctv but when I had
disabled students pay for a chemistry lab aid I insisted the person was a
chem major and an A student.

So maybe you could find your readers through the department. And then you
interview them by having them read to you.
