[nabs-l] Anyone used Psychportal?

[Kaiti Shelton]

Hi guys,

William, thanks for the info; I wasn't even aware that this is something new.
I have let my disability services counselor and technology specialist
know and the three of us are taking a divide and concor approach to
figuring the portal out since the term is so close.  If it isn't
accessible they will convert the information to text and I will use
that along with email like you said.  Although, my prof also sent me
the book information for the textbook the portal supports, so if it
comes down to it pretty soon I may talk to her and see if I can buy
the textbook and have disability services only convert the assignments
or quizzes that might be on the portal if they are there.

Cory, I'm majoring in music therapy with a minor in psych and want to
work with teens who have special needs or addictions.  Haven't decided
which one yet.  :)

Thanks,
