[nabs-l] Question about Readers

[Hope Paulos]

They should be checking for spelling/accuracy. As far as having a reader
read chapters in the book, I'd try and set up some time each week to have
them read the chapters. You can ask them to stop at a particular point so
you can take notes but you can also record the reading. This way, you can go
back and re-read the chapters for tests and more in-depth note-taking.
I hope this is helpful.

I've never used a reader so can't answer your first questions, but I feel
like you could say to Your disabilities service office that you're having a
problem because there are lots of errors in the scanned book and is there
anything they can do to reduce those errors. Honestly they should have
someone proofreading.

Hi All,
I was wondering if any of you have used readers to read a chapter from a
textbook, and how exactly you would go about this process.
Although I have the textbook I need, it has been scanned by Disability
Services and there are tons of errors, making some parts confusing to read. 
Do you just tell the reader when to stop so that you can take notes on a
particular topic?
Would it be appropriate to ask my disability services office to check for
spelling/accuracy, or is that not really their place?
Thanks,
Vejas
