Hi
If your needs assessment says you need something and the lecturer is not 
providing it, ask one of the disability advisers (or whatever you call 
them) to ask the lecturer for it or to provide them with an 
electronic/hard copy of the lectures so they can do it.  It is the 
university's responsibility to ensure you your assessed needs are met, 
so you should not be having to hassle lecturers yourself.
