Hi Angela,
At Pace University, the Counseling Center hires note-takers and others for in-class assistance. My overall unit, the Center for Academic Excellence, schedules and proctors accommodated exams. Until recently, our Administrative Staff Associate for the CAE coordinated the scheduling and proctoring. But because she didn't feel qualified to do this and it was not in her job description, she lobbied for someone else to take it over. The Counseling Center would not offer to take it over. So, I have agreed to temporarily take it over. I see my role as bringing leadership and responsibility by general oversight and streamlining the processes for scheduling and proctoring. Until now, the processes have been rather unclear to us, the students, and the faculty. So, I hope to standardize the process and thereby make clear what it is students and faculty are to do, as well as what we will do. I have hired a part-time Coordinator, who is a doctoral student in the Psy.D. program to help me. But, really, I wish all of this were housed at the Counseling Center. It would be a "one-stop shop" for those students requiring accommodations under the ADA. And there would be less confusion among the students, staff, and faculty who does what and who generates what paperwork.
Hope this helps.

Subject: roles and responsibilities
Hello Listservers,
We are looking at possibly reorganizing our procedures in terms of the
delivery of test accommodations and assistance with assistive technology
support for our students with disabilities. Specifically, we are
attempting to define who "owns" the responsibility for providing the
tests (proctoring, reading, scribe, etc) and services that go along with
assistive and adaptive technology (i.e. scanning textbooks, DVR's,
Dragon Naturally Speaking, etc.). At this point the Learning Center at
our college has been providing the bulk of the services for students
with disabilities.
I would like to know what other colleges do in terms of their role and
responsibilities in regards to the office for students with disabilities
(i.e. does the Learning Center proctor exams, assist with technology,
etc., provide readers for tests, etc) or does another department provide
those services. There is a lot more involved in this question which is
specific to our college, but I would just like an overview of other
learning center practices in regards to this issue.
Any information you could share would help with our organization...
THANKS!
