If a separate room is needed for testing, Disability Services can arrange the room and proctor. Taped versions of textbooks and materials are also coordinated through the DS office. If a student in your class has need of this service, we will request a list of texts used for the course. A minimum of three weeks lead time is necessary to provide timely recordings. Any questions or concerns that you have about the accommodations requested should be directed to the Director of Disability Services.
Documentation is required to verify that a student has a learning disability.
This documentation should be brought to the initial appointment with the Director of Disability Services or mailed in advance. From this documentation, the Director and the student will develop a plan to aid the student's success at Messiah College. With the student's permission, the Director will notify instructors of the need for accommodations. NCR paper can be requested for volunteer notetakers in class. The student should work with the professor in obtaining a volunteer notetaker.
