Provide reading lists or syllabi in advance to allow time for arrangements to be made, such as the taping or Brailing of texts. Allow the student to use note taking devices such as Braille-writers. Allow tape recording of lectures and class discussions. Team the student with a sighted classmate or lab partner. Reserve front seats for low-vision students. Make sure seats are not near or facing windows. Glare from the light can make it hard for a student to see the instructor or the board. Verbalize the content printed on transparencies, on the chalkboard, or when using computer projections such as PowerPoint. Face the class when speaking. Provide large print copies of classroom materials by enlarging them on a photo copier. Be flexible with assignment deadlines, especially if library research is requested. If a specific task is impossible for a student to carry out, consider an alternative assignment. Provide alternative testing formats (e. g. oral, large print, bold print, Braille or taped).
Scholarships, Support Resources, and Expert Insight for Achieving an Advanced Degree The NCES reports that graduate students with disabilities make up just eight percent of the student body. Disabilities -- defined by the Americans with Disabilities Act as a physical or mental disability that substantially limits one or more major life activities – don't have to act as a barrier for prospective graduate students aspiring to further education. This guide offers information on how to best understand your rights in college, receive academic accommodations and tips to succeed in graduate school. There is also specific information for grad students with visual and hearing disabilities, and an expert interview discussing how to excel in graduate school as a student with a disability.
