I am having difficulty searching the archives, so I am sorry if this is a topic that has already been covered. I have a prospective student whose preferred medium is Braille. We have an on-site Brailler and so would be able to provide course information, handouts and university documents etc in Braille for him. I think this is clearly a reasonable adjustment that we would be expected to make. however I was wondering whether we would be expected to provide all the course texts required in Braille too. in my previous experiences, the responsibility has been on the student to adapt the texts themselves. For example the DSA has provided them with a scanner with OCR or non-medical help reading onto tape. can anyone confirm whether this is the case, so that the student and my staff members can be adequately prepared for the commencement of their course. thanks alice Alice Pennington Disabilities Officer RED Centre University of Surrey Roehampton Froebel College Roehampton Lane London SW15 5PJ Tel: 020 8392 3113 ext 4088 Fax: 020 8392 3735 Email: <mailto:[log in to unmask]> [log in to unmask] ------------------------------------------------------- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by The University of Surrey Roehampton MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.
