Question 2 of 7
2. Question
I will assist with completing the appropriate paperwork that you will need when you meet with Accessibility Services to request your communication access services.
CorrectIncorrectHint
They will need to assist with completing the required documentation: Audiogram, Report and Appendix 8. In British Columbia, students are typically seen at a Public Health Unit where there are often minimal costs for services.
In most cases, once you exit Grade 12, you need to find a new Audiologist at a private clinic (with the exception of those who have Cochlear Implants). It is important to let the Public Health Audiologist know that you are thinking about post-secondary;They are likely the same one you have been at since childhood.

Question 4 of 7
4. Question
I arrange and schedule for your interpreting, or transcribing, or assistive listening devices and supports in college/ university.
CorrectIncorrectHint
Together you will decide if you will be using assistive listening devices, registered sign language interpreters, TypeWell transcribers or CART captioners or note taking support.
It is not automatically done for you like it was in high school. You will need to book an appointment with the Accessibility Services office and present your recent medical documentation and audiological report to get the support and services you require.

Question 6 of 7
6. Question
I have arranged for a Sound field System/speaker unit to be set up in your high school classrooms or your personal FM device that the teacher uses to transmit their voice directly into your hearing aids.
CorrectIncorrectHint
I will arrange for your assistive listening devices, setting the equipment up and also helping with reminders to charge the equipment, provide extra batteries etc.
This equipment does not go with you when you move on to post-secondary. Perhaps you are thinking “great, I finally get to ditch the equipment,” but we encourage you to think again! The post-secondary classrooms can be very large, which can make hearing your instructor and classmates more challenging.

Question 7 of 7
7. Question
I will call the school to notify them if you are sick, sign permission forms, attend parent and teacher interviews, participate in your Individualized Education Plan (IEP) sessions, and discuss your access accommodations.
They might wake you up in the morning, make your lunch, and even drive you to school.
CorrectIncorrectHint
They help you in many ways you may not always think about or realize. All of those responsibilities change once you are in college or university.
No longer be directly involved with the school.Instead of your parents managing all those tasks, it will be up to you, the student, to arrange for everything that you need!
You will be in charge of contacting your access advisor to arrange for your accommodations, communicate with your instructors and interpreters or transcribers.
