[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
