1. Allow time for special:
1. Handouts and examples in alternative formats
2. Individual instruction
3. Classroom management
2. Find readers and/or transcribers (possibly work-study students)
3. Visit Academic Support Services for help with scores & texts in Braille or alternative formats
4. Request support from Dean or Chair

Physical Plant and Scheduling (daily needs):

1. Desks: flat, and large enough for a laptop and educational aids
2. Student’s Schedule: “what’s easiest” (especially for first year students)
3. Pre-enroll student to give instructor additional preparation time

Classroom issues:

1. Student volunteers
2. Textbooks: locate alternative format(s); or an alternative textbook if the assigned text is not available
3. Envision in advance:
1. Testing: time, format
2. Notation-based skills/activities such as dictation
3. What happens when x isn’t available?
4. Envision how challenges may lead to changes in instruction & curriculum
5. Be sure to say what you are doing as you are doing it

Technology:

1. Compatibility between Academic support, professor, and student software
2. Test runs: does it really work the way you need it to?
3. Worst-case scenarios: old-school tech—“Slate and Stylus”
