[nabs-l] disability services in college

[NMPBRAT at aol.com]

Vejas,
Here are a few other suggestions for  questions:
1) How many people work for the DSS?
2) What days and hours are the DSS open?
3) What accommodations are available to me, including testing  
accommodations?  What is the process for requesting those  accommodations?
4) How willing do professors seem to be when working with the  DSS office? 
(note: if you know what degree you are majoring in, you can be  specific to 
that particular group of professors)
5) Who do I talk to and what is the process in dealing with  issues that 
arise in a particular class or with a particular  professor?
6) What percentage of students that your office services are  blind or 
visually impaired?
7) What resources, if any, do you work with outside of your  office?
 
Just some thoughts!  Good luck!

Hi  All,
I am going to be meeting soon with the disability services of my  
schools and have some questions/want some insight.
How do you know how  good a DSS program is? (Of my three colleges, 
one is a Cal State and two  are private, so the privates may not 
have very good services).
If the  DSS is poor but you like the college for all other 
reasons, is this a big  enough reason not to attend that college?
Also, I'd really like your ideas  on questions I could ask DSS.  I 
already have 5, which I'll paste  below my name, and I would 
really appreciate if you could add some more or  change any of the 
above.
Thanks.

Questions to Ask  DSS
1.  How quickly is the turnaround time for Braille  materials?
2.  Is there a Braille transcriber/braillist on campus, or  is 
everything just going to be embossed?
3.  Is there anyone on  campus who can create raised diagrams for 
subjects such as chemistry and  mathematics?
4.  What kind of adaptive technology is offered at the  school?
5.  Should anything go wrong with my hearing aids, is there  
anyone who can help with  them?
