• Application and registration assistance;
• Note takers, readers, and scribes;
• Sign language interpreters;
• Testing modification services;
• Kurzweil Book readers;
• Books on Tape;
• Amplification systems;

• Voice synthesizer;
• Maryland Relay (1-800-735-2258) or TTY;
• Computers equipped with Dragon Dictate, Zoom Text and Jaws; and,
• Magnification Systems.

DSS advisors are available to meet with students to discuss the procedures necessary to obtain appropriate documentation and to identify accommodations for which a student is eligible.
