[nabs] Resources for my college faculty?

[Laura Glowacki]

Miranda,

I would certainly check out our NABS resources page at our 
website acbstudents.org as well as the ACB.org website.

Disability etiquette may be something to consider including as 
Christopher suggested.

Also this website from the American Foundation for the Blind for 
etiquette tips:
http://www.afb.org/section.asp?SectionID=36&TopicID=163

Basic beginning information for professors and faculty about how 
screen reading, magnification, scanning, and other adaptive 
software and hardware works may be helpful.  For your disability 
person, it may be useful to direct them to an email list 
specifically for disability service coordinators such as the one 
through  the Michigan state chapter of the Association on Higher 
Education And Disability (AHEAD):
http://www.mi-ahead.org/listserv.php

and:
Disabled Student Services in Higher Education
http://listserv.buffalo.edu/cgi-bin/wa?A0=DSSHE-L

Also, AHEAD's website contains a page of resources on a wide 
range and scope on many aspects of disability:

HTH,
Laura

Subject: [nabs] Resources for my college faculty?


Hi,
I'm thinking of preparing a document of resources for my college 
faculty (professors, music department staff, assistant Dean who 
deals with disability services, IT department, ETC.) These can be 
general resources for all or specific resources for certain 
departments or faculty.
Can anyone provide suggestions on what I can include in this 
document?
As the first totally Blind student in my college, I want to help 
them as much as possible as they are so willing to accomidate my 
needs.
Thanks in advance, and have a great day!

In Christ, Miranda
