Services for Students with Disabilities
Note Takers
Physical disabilities prevent some students from taking notes; learning disabilities hinder others from listening and taking notes simultaneously. In these cases, note-taking assistance can be provided through the office of Services for Students with Disabilities. Once you have established eligibility, some instructors may be willing to allow you to copy their personal notes or lecture outlines. SSD will photocopy these notes for you if needed. SSD will ask the instructor to assist in locating and hiring a classmate who takes good notes to work with you. SSD can provide special, lined "carbonless copy" paper to be used by note takers, or you can photocopy your note taker’s notes if you wish.
Students using note takers have responsibilities, too. They need to request note-taking assistance from SSD as early in the term as possible, communicate with the instructor for help in locating a good note taker, attend each class, read and review the notes regularly and carefully, give the note taker helpful feedback, and rework or add to the notes, writing things that will help understanding and remembering. Your note taker will pick up a supply of the "carbonless copy" paper from the SSD office and to bring it to each class.
