[nabs-l] Reasonable Accommodations in the College Classroom under the Ada

[Bobbi Pompey]

Hello, 

If you are not satisfied with the alternative option your professor has offered, I have an idea that may work. Instead of just listing your hobbies and interests, you could describe pictures you may have chosen if you had vision and explain why. For example, if you have a bright  and warm personality but you are shy at times you could explain that you would’ve chosen a photo of a big sun peeking from behind the clouds to represent this character trait.  

I hope I have explained this in a way that is easy to understand and I hope it helps. I’d love to know what you ultimately decide to do. 

Best wishes, 

Bobbi A. L. Pompey

The assignment is to put pictures of things that represent us onto a word document and upload it to our online course site.  Yesterday afternoon I contacted my professor and explained that I would require sighted assistance to complete this project.  She told me to submit a list of my interests, hobbies, and experiences as opposed to the visual images.  Under the Americans with Disabilities Act, what other reasonable accommodations can be provided in a college classrom? I'd love to hear your responses.
