Most people are able to learn from the things they see and hear in their environment, but some disabilities interfere with one or both of these information gathering methods.
If you have sensory impairments or learning disabilities, you may need to use accessible formats such as:
- E-text or audio files for reading textbooks and classroom materials
- Handouts on colored paper
- Screen enlargement software
- Text to Speech software
- Speech to Text software

Accommodations are directly linked to functional limitations caused by the disability. Accommodations that affect the way you learn in the classroom or demonstrate knowledge may include:
- Extended time to complete large assignments/projects
- Written and oral directions from the instructor
- Notetaker
- Digitally recording lectures
- Textbooks in audio or e-text format
Knowing what accommodations work for you improves your ability to do good work in the classroom, completing homework or in your place of employment.
Some students need accommodations to complete tests, and accessible formats may be prepared for use in the classroom. Frequently, testing outside of the classroom is scheduled.
In addition to classroom test accommodations, coordination between Accessibility Resources and the Testing Services office allows for scheduling of appropriate accommodations for college placement and other other proctored tests.

- Extended time
- Scribe/Reader
- Use of screen reader or speech to text software
- Use of word processor for essay tests
- Use of calculator or multiplication table
- Use of spell checker
