What if a CD Rom or audio/video recording/tutorial accompanies a text and there is a student with a hearing impairment in my class?
Unfortunately, instructors cannot know ahead of time that a hearing impaired student will be enrolling in their course. However, if there is an audio accompaniment to the text that contains essential course content that is not otherwise found in the text itself or provided through the lecture, the instructor should make the student aware. The student then needs to notify the Center On Disability to arrange to have the audio material transcribed.
