General Checklist

Questions to Ask

  • Do you offer Orientation and Mobility training? If not, how do I get it? Do you have a list of qualified instructors? Are readers paid or volunteer? Who pays? Whether using a volunteer or a paid reader, it is up to you to assess if they are giving you what you need, and to find a gracious but clear way to communicate to them if they are not. Ask the office: Do you help locate readers? Do you have any suggestions for finding them?
  • What kind of assistive technology is available? Do you have support for me if I am using assistive technology, such as a screen reader? Are there adaptive computers anywhere on campus? Where are they located? Is there training to help me use computers and accompanying software?
  • What accommodations are there for taking exams? How and where are they usually taken? What responsibility do I have in the whole process? Can I work out my own arrangements if I so choose? Can I get the exams in an alternative format, like large print, Braille, or recorded?
  • What accommodations are there for assisting me in the classroom? Do you help locate assistants when I need them? What responsibility do I have in this process?
  • Is campus transportation accessible for me? Is there public transportation and is it accessible to me?
