Current Students
We provide a wide range of services, support and advocacy for students with a variety of disabilities and learning differences. We can talk with you about ways to advocate for yourself, to learn about your own learning style, and to reach out to other students at Lewis & Clark and the community. We’re here to assist you in making your time here productive and successful.

A set of classroom notes and notetaking can take on many forms. The Office of the Associate Dean of Student Affairs, Libby Davis, coordinates notetaking services for law students. If you have any questions, please contact Libby Davis (eadavis@lclark.edu).
Logistics
Notetaking can take on many forms. The Office of Student Accessibility (OSA) embraces the principles of Universal Design around notetaking. For those classes where notetaking is an integral part of learning, we encourage professors to discuss notetaking with the entire class, about what role it plays in student learning, and what good notes look like. For more information please read, “Overview of Approved Classroom Notetaking Methods”
Who qualifies?
Note taking is an important skill and an imperative part of some classes. Several disabilities related to auditory processing, graphomotor difficulties, memory, and concentration can make synchronous notetaking in class inaccessible.
If you have any questions regarding how to access class recordings, please contact Libby Davis (eadavis@lclark.edu).
