*Provide all assignments in oral and written format.
*Provide study guide for text and encourage study groups, peer tutoring, and study labs.
*Prepare study questions for review sessions to aid in mastering material for exams.
*Accept oral presentations or tape recordings in place of written assignments, when possible.
*Facilitate the use of special accommodations such as note takers, tape or Power Point presentations; lectures/demonstrations, readers for tests, extended time for tests, and oral rather than written tests.
