Students
who meet with a Assisted Learning Services Counselor and verify
eligibility may receive one or more of the following types of assistance:
Testing
Specialized testing conditions including extra time, readers, writers,
large print tests, and use of a computer with text magnification
and voice synthesis capabilities. These services are available
for classes as well as for some standardized tests.
Textbooks
on tape
Students who require textbooks on tape are responsible for determining
if a particular textbook is available from " Recordings
for the Blind and Dyslexic " (local office: 248 879-0101). Students
should have a list of the book title, author, edition, publication
date, ISBN#, and publisher before calling. If a required textbook
is not available from Recordings for the Blind and Dyslexic , notify
the Assisted Learning Services Department and we will arrange to
have it recorded. This can require from eight weeks to three months,
and should be arranged well in advance of when the text book will
be needed.
Adaptive
Equipment
There is a range of equipment available for use by students with
physical or learning disabilities. This includes hardware and software
that allows text to be scanned and read back to the user, software
that magnifies text on the computer screen, and software that reads
or describes most text and icons encountered on a computer screen.
This equipment may aid blind or partially sighted individuals as
well as those with some types of reading disabilities. Training
on some systems may be required. Other equipment may be available.
Please call (313) 845-9617 to inquire.
Reader/writer
services for the classroom
Students will be provided with someone who can read or write for
them during class time.
Notetaker
Students who qualify for note-taking assistance will be allowed
to use a tape recorder in classes and may also qualify for a notetaker.
American
Sign Language interpreters for the classroom
Deaf or hearing-impaired students will be provided with ASL interpreters
for the classroom.
