[nabs-l] Reasonable Accommodations in the College Classroomunder the Ada

[Christina Moore]

It is not the responssibility of the professor but that of the 
disability office to provide readers, scribes Etc.
It is a student's responsibility to communicate with the 
professor and disability office about how to adapt assignments.
I have had readers, scribes and tutors throughout my undergrad 
thus far.
I find it helpful to request syllaby before the class starts so I 
can schedule meetings as soon as possible with the professor if I 
have concerns.
God Bless,
Christina

I'm not sure that it's the professor's responsibility to provide 
sighted
assistance.  Maybe I'm wrong about that, but then it would seem 
reasonable
that a blind student could partner up with someone from class or 
use a
reader to tell what images are wanted and apply the images to a 
Word
document as requested.  Advertisement relies a lot on visual 
stimulus.  If
this is an area you're planning on entering, this would be a 
great time to
figure out a system that will help you contribute to future 
projects.  It's
going to take some creativity, but I think it's doable.  Best of 
luck to you.

Dear Students,

I hope all of you are doing well.  I have a question for all of 
you.  Last
Thursday we received our first project in my Principles of 
Advertising
class.  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.
