[quote=Anonymous]    The note taking tech is wonky for my daughter. I have seen it. It picks up random conversations and of course every "um" or sneeze or anything from the professor. It also does "speaker 1" "speaker 2" and you have to figure out which is professor or student when they just have a class discussion. It can't decipher voices so sometimes the professor is speaker one and then speaker 3.

The emails are overwhelming and can have vital info like change in classroom for a seminar class, clarification of an assignment or even switch to Zoom class because professor can't make it in. We have DD check first thing in the morning, at lunch and before bed at a minimum.

There may be professors who say they can't do certain accommodations or who sign the form and don't follow through. It's terrifying for DD to advocate. We help her to do it using email to make sure she is respectful and polite. There have been some things she needed to let go. Better to spend the time preparing for class than meeting with the disability office to get a professor to bend.

Lecture halls are tough for her-too many students and sitractions. Hard to focus.[/quote]
