[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am a professor at a smaller school, and Disability Support Services does not arrange those accommodations at my school, except for testing space if you get extra time. DSS is 3 or 4 people (including the work/study students who answer phones and help with paperwork. So at my school, it is up to me to provide the accommodations. Some are essy, like extra time on tests, but some are more difficult, like finding reliable note takers. I am also given little guidance about what to do when someone misses class frequently. I can't reteach it in a short period of time in my office, and you can only receive an incomplete after you have completed most of the course with a passing grade (this is a university rule). Notes from another student miss all of the demonstrations in class.

Anyway, I actually graduated from Cal (Berkeley), and I know the folks who run DSS there. It is sn extraordinary, well-supported service that makes these accommodations happen for the student without a lot of impact on faculty.Most other schools leave it up to the faculty to make it happen, and a lot of us don't really know how to do it in a lot of cases.

Do you have notes you could give a student? In HS, my DC does not get notes from a student, but directly from the teacher.  Frequently it is the Powerpoint presentation, or the word document/outline that the teacher uses for each class.  [/quote]
