You can also ask to see a copy of how they currently take notes to see if their style of notes will work for you. After the first week or two you should approach the instructor to see if the notes you a receiving are adequate for the class. If you find a student note taker, come to the Disability Services Office as soon as possible and complete a Note Taker Agreement Form. Any problems with the notetaker must be addressed to Disability Services immediately so that we may fix the error or find a new notetaker. Lab assistants are available through the Disability Services Office.
Lab assistants provide hands on assistance such as lifting objects or describing visual materials.
They are not enrolled in the course, nor are they responsible for course work. Students are expected to make the initial contact with their instructors to discuss their abilities and the type of classroom adaptations that are necessary. It is also the students responsibility the office one week in advance regarding their need for lab arrangements. Students with disabilities are the employers and set wages, hours, job duties, and conditions for employment. Positions are either full time or part time.
