Hi Jennifer,<br>
I used the FM System or Assistive Listening Device that Chris
mentioned and had a transcriber that took notes on what was said and
what was written on the Board/overhead projector. As far as
movies, have your instructor inform you in advance so that you can
watch it by yourself with an interpreter or transcriber or whatever
works for you so that you can be prepared to discuss the movie in
class. That is what my professors did.<br>
Above all-Do not let your Deaf-Blindness keep you from pursuing your
academic goals.<br>

<pre style="font-size: 9pt;"><tt>Hi,
To those of you who have a fair amount of residual hearing, but no useable
vision and know how to sign. How did you communicate when you were attending
college? How did you take notes in class? The college that I am considering
attending only gives one option either CART or an Interpreter.
I have not
received formal tactile training and that is something that the school is asking
me to do before I come back. I have quite a bit of residual hearing, but I do
not do well in loud situations, nor with people who are soft spoken, so when
people ask questions behind me, or the teacher has their back to the direction
of where I am sitting I do not understand everything if anything. This obviously
presents a problem when attending college as I am not able to ask the teacher to
repeat every time I don’t understand something.
I am currently working on
learning Braille. but I know that I can not read fast enough to keep up with
CART using Braille. How do you know what is written up on the board? When I
went to school previsouly I had to have someone in class take notes for me and I
hoped that the person taking notes got the information that I needed. This was
hard for me because I had to find someone who brought a laptop or iPad with them
to school not as many people brought laptops to the Community College as I
thought would. What did you do when a movie would be shown? How did you know
what was being said and what was going on visually?
I do ok with Voice Over,
but I have to listen to it a few times sometimes, so I know that will not work
for taking tests.
Any experience and advice would be
appreciated.
Thanks
Jennifer
