How can a notetaker be obtained without breaking student confidentiality?
A. Make an announcement at the start of the semester that a notetaker is desired and explain the responsibilities of the job. Ask the volunteers to meet with you after the class. As they take notes they can give them to you at the end of each class period to keep the identity of the student with the disability confidential. You can also ask the student with the disability if he or she prefers to keep the information confidential, if not then you may introduce the notetaker to the student. If there is more than one volunteer, you can ask both to provide notes so that the student with the disability can choose the notes that suits him or her best and having more than one notetaker can be an advantage in case one of them is absent during the semester.
