[nabs-l] Fair payment for readers

[Miso Kwak]

Hi Kaiti, 
If it's something related to your coursework, one route u could take is have your reader hired by the disability service office. 
A down side of this could be having to go through the hiring process. 
If circumstances work out, you could have a student who is already hired by the office as your reader, and that student could log his/her reading time into the time sheet. 
I hope this makes sense and is helpful.
