1. The process<\/p>\n
Many students report that they had a difficult time getting things settled when they first registered with AEO.\u00a0 One student said that AEO took a long time getting back to her to let her know that her psychiatrist\u2019s documentation had the wrong information.\u00a0 This delay almost caused the student to be unable to request housing accommodations.\u00a0 Though it all worked out in the end, the student said the \u201cpoorly organized\u201d process caused her unnecessary anxiety. \u00a0Another student said,\u201cI feel like they put up a lot of initial barriers to becoming approved for an accommodation, which could be a problem but at the same time kind of makes sense.\u201d<\/p>\n
2. The List<\/p>\n
Another student who chose not to register with AEO said he made this decision based on the list of specific services AEO offers. \u00a0This makes one wonder how many students do not register with AEO because they do not see certain accommodations on AEO\u2019s list.\u00a0 This list is deceiving, because, in fact, AEO does offer more accommodations than those listed.\u00a0 It is disappointing if students who could benefit from AEO\u2019s services are not registering because they do not see a specific accommodation on AEO\u2019s list.<\/p>\n
3. The Cost<\/p>\n
One professor said, \u201cI\u2019ve always been personally concerned about students whose parents are not well off financially and can\u2019t afford the testing that\u2019s required but I can\u2019t say I know what the college\u2019s current policy is on that or how they help. I know that Belinda [former Director] used to have a list of places where people could go to get the testing at a reduced fee.\u00a0 In an ideal world I would like to see disability evaluations covered under college insurance policies, health insurance, so it could become an integral part of our larger health services, but that\u2019s a dream.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
