The local authority of one of our hearing impaired medical student
rejected the Needs Assessment recommendations for an electronic
stethoscope and a note-taker as they are "reasonable adjustments for the
university to make to enable you (student) to access the course."
The LA has accepted all the other recommendations for computer equipment
and general allowance.
We have never had note-taking support for hearing impaire students
rejected before. Has anyone else had a similar rejection?
