Activity 38

Students compare disability services and assistive technology at colleges of interest. Although all colleges follow the mandates of Section 504 and ADA, each college is responsible to develop its own policy and procedures. Colleges may vary in how things are done and what resources are available. These differences could prove to be very important to students with disabilities. For example, for blind indivduals or those with learning disabilities; a common accommodation is recorded books. Some campuses assist students in obtaining the recordings, while others depend on the student to obtain what they need through Recordings for the Blind and Dyslexic. When students research services at different college, they need to not only ask if an accommodation is provided, but how it is provided.

The George Washington University Web site for their office of Disability Support Services offers a clear outline of the services that are commonly provided along with expectations for students and instructors.
