This problem came up for a dyslexic student a few years ago. We had to
resolve it by clarifying precisely why the recording was necessary [ the acute
short term memory difficulty in this case] and by providing assurances about
what would happen to the recordings afterwards. If this occurred now we would
use one of our trained notetakers. This is less disconcerting for the
other students.

I would be very grateful for help with what is as new problem
for us.
I have a student with MS who is doing a BA in Fine Arts he finds
writing
difficult and has been given a tape recorder as part of his
DSA.
The tutors and students are OK with him taping lectures but do have
some
difficulties with him taping 'crits' and discussions as they feel
inhibited
especially as they discuss each others work.
Are there any
guidelines on this ? I have suggested that it is raised in a
group session
with in the class and some level of compromise reached - but I
would be
grateful for some advice.
