[Riccobono, Mark via Pibe-division]

Vejas,

Is the course offered by the school district or by some other entity?

Subject: [Pibe-division] SAT Prep Class district support

Hi All,
  I am a junior in high school & am taking the SAT in 3 weeks, and to help me get ready, I have opted to take an SAT Prep Class.
  - Our local VI program has chosen to view the SAT Prep Class as "extracurricular" & as such is unwilling to provide me with transcriber support.
  I am wondering how you approach such situations with your high school students.
  - How did you get Prep Class materials in an accessible format for your students?
  - Did the school or VI program help with the brailling of text & embossing of diagrams, or do your students need to hire readers and do it verbally (which is clearly not ideal since then there is a lost opportunity for hands on learning with the diagrams)?
  - Do your students end up needing to find a non-district transcriber to braille the test and emboss the diagrams?
  I would really appreciate your input & look forward to any insights or suggestions you might have.
  Sincerely,
  Vejas
