#accomidations

Me: hey so you know how your still having some face2face classes. Well im Hard of hearing and cant really do online xlasses. Maybe you could put me in the face2face classes

Uni: NO, all online synchronous classes (aka: live video lectures)

Me: okay well what accommodations are you giving mw to help me with these classes given that I wont be able to hear or follow along in a vido lecture format

Uni: No new accommodations

Me: well school starts in less than 2 weeks. Can you tell professors to post their syllabuses to I can get ahead that way I wont be lost or left behind

Uni: 0% of professors have posted syllabuses

Me: can you ATLEAST tell me who my professors are so i can email them and discuss accommodations since the office for disabilities isnt helping

Uni: NO, the new website is inaccessible so it makes it to where you can see your classes but not your professors

Me: Are you going to do anything to help your disabled students who will struggle with a sudden switch to online learning. Anything at all?

Decorated my new wheelchair and went to Target yesterday! My arms are tired but that's understandable. It made the trip alot more enjoyable. Also the shirt I'm wearing may or may not be from my last trip to Target....

Im hard of hearing and there’s just so much content out there I can’t enjoy. Most of the time I don’t care but it’s annoying when a creator has had access to captions for years and then suddenly takes it away.

Like all that content, all the things I enjoyed by that creator are just not available to me anymore.

I've got the paperwork for an accommodation in my "applied riding" classes in college (I'm an equestrian science major, so it's when riding horses in the arena for class) for a "personal listening device"

It needs to be portable (so I can wear it on my belt while I'm riding) and ideally less than $200 max

They actually make these specifically for equestrians, but they cost $1,000+

I was wondering if anyone knew of something like this, or if two way handheld radios with headsets would work, like if they have a "call" setting where one party (or both parties, ig) is constantly broadcasting instead of push-to-talk.

I love the fact the so many people on tumblr go out of their way to help people with hearing impairments, it really shows how progressive and thoughtful people can be. However, one thing i rarely see brought up is people with seeing impairments. In 2013 i was diagnosed with a degenerative eye disease called keratoconus, my vision is incredibly blurry and without special accommodations, i wouldn’t even be able to type this or use the internet at all. I see all the time where people will caption videos for those with hearing impairment which is absolutely amazing, but i don’t see a lot of people even acknowledging those with seeing impairments.

(Note that she says there will be 2 winners and this is a class of almost 300)
