Re: An LD Student Who Needs a "Scribe"

[Donna_Sewell <dsewell@valdosta.edu>]

Hi Suzanne,

I'm really looking forward to reading everyone's comments on this
situation. I agree with you that I'd fight the notion that someone write
this student's papers, but I don't know nearly as much as I should about
this situation either.

Here at VSU, students with disabilities are referred to Student Services,
and it is that program that handles any accommodations. The Writing Center
doesn't work with such students, not because we aren't willing to but
because we aren't prepared for such situations. 

I'm looking forward to learning as much as you do from the dialogue that
follows.
