期待什么 from Your CDAR 摄入会议
学生 who work with 残疾人访问和资源中心 (CDAR) may be unsure of what to expect when they meet with an 访问顾问. Here are a few things to know before you attend your meeting:
- Your meeting with CDAR is your chance to share your experience with your disability. While we will have read your application and reviewed any documentation you’ve submitted, this is your opportunity to share the impact your disability has had on your educational experiences.
- We will typically start by asking you a few questions to get to know you better before asking you to share specifics about your disability.
- You will have a chance to share how your disability impacts all aspects of your academics and what barriers you may face in class, during exams and quizzes and how it may affect the out-of-classroom activities required of your program.
- 入职会议期间, you may be asked what you think would be most helpful to address the barriers that you have described. 说你不确定是可以的. You and the 访问顾问 can brainstorm what might be helpful and what resources may be available to you on campus.
- If you have received accommodations in the past (at another college or in high school), 分享过去成功或失败的经验.
- This does not have to be your only meeting with CDAR. If your accommodations need to change or you want to discuss new challenges that you are facing as a student, you can always schedule a meeting with an 访问顾问 to discuss ways to address additional barriers you are experiencing.
