[nabs-l] More Questions About the Disabilities Office and Readers

[Lizzy]

Hi Elizabeth,
Thank you for clarifying your previous responses, I can better 
understand the situation and definitely feel more compelled to 
assist.  Given these circumstances, I agree with Ashley, you 
should definitely write to the administration detailing this 
situation (on all sides).  Show them emails that you've written 
to the DS Coordinator, write follow-up emails to your professor 
(copying the dean if need be) saying that it was so great to meet 
in office hours today but it was unfortunate that the two of you 
didn't have the chance to talk more extensively about the 
material (also note here that sometimes it is a useful 
accommodation to preview things in office hours so that you get a 
basic understanding of material and then learn the ins and ous 
during class).  It might also be useful to have a copy of some of 
the suggestions you've received here so that they know that this 
situation is fixable when you have the right resources available 
at your school.  Get everything in writing though, and speak with 
the Dean, Provost, President whoever you need to talk to so that 
they understand that you are hardworking, willing to go the extra 
mile and really invested in passing the course.  In other words, 
make sure they know that what's happening is not your fault (but 
be subtle about it).
HTH,
Lizzy
