[nabs-l] Is This a Typical Request for Disability Services?

Hi All,
I start college next month, and have been trying to get 
everything ready, which includes meetings with Disability 
Services and the normal due-dates.  (I never would have thought 
that there would be so many due-dates between college acceptance 
and the start of school-lesson learned there!"
Although I have been getting to know my disability services, I 
have only just today received an accmmodations letter.
One accommodation that I requested from them is to have someone 
walk with me to each of my classes for the first month or so, 
while I am still learning the layout of the campus.  Travel is 
one of these aspects for me that I just need to have constant 
repetition for, and although I will be working with someone 
authorized by the Department of Rehab, this process is still 
happening and I feel that knowing myself and my travel skills, I 
need this.  DSS seems unsure if this is possible, but is willing 
to discuss the matter further.  I don't know if their hesitation 
has anything to do with the fact that I have 5 classes at 5 
completely different times, although I think it would be more of 
a matter of me communicating with these students via text to 
arrange times.
I have a meeting with them in two weeks, but was just wondering 
if you have had any similar issues with them and how you have 
dealt with them.
Thanks,
Vejas
