[nabs-l] Chemistry help

[Karl Martin Adam]

Technically what you need is a lab assistant not a reader.  Your 
college really should be providing one for you--this is a 
reasonable accommodation under the ADA.  It might be worth your 
while talking to your disabled student services again (I'm not 
sure how much of this you've already done).  Also, if you're 
considering hiring a reader, make sure you talk to your professor 
and disabled student services about it before hand.  Some schools 
have rules against having assistants in the classroom that aren't 
provided by the college.

 I’ve always had a reader so that I can participate fully in 
the labs. I find it necessary to get my hands on the labs to 
really see what in the world is going on. I also find that if I 
participate, my classmates do not treat me so much like the note 
taker.

 The National Federation of the Blind knows that blindness is not 
the characteristic that defines you or your future. Every day we 
raise the expectations of blind people, because low expectations 
create obstacles between blind people and our dreams. You can 
live the life you want; blindness is not what holds you back.

 Hi Shikha,
 By "reader", do you mean someone who describes the labs for you?
 I am in chemistry this year as a high-school student.  I 
normally don't do the lab activities.  I have a partner and an 
aide in the class.  My partner will do the lab and both of them 
will describe it to me.  I then write the necessary data and also 
answer any supplemental questions if there are any.  While I 
would really enjoy doing the labs, I would miss key pieces of 
data.

 Hey

 For chemestry labs did you use your lab partner to be your 
reader or did you hire a reader to assist you in your lab class.
