Yeah. It's best to work with your employer. It's not an one-way street. It works both ways.
Maybe, your request will be accepted with no questions asked. Other times, they may have a problem accepting your request due to finances, availability, or time restraints. So, be ready to offer or accept other accommodations.
For instance, you might ask for an interpreter first. If they cannot find an interpreter, but they can find someone to type up what's being said... then that's reasonable.
What if it was was a video presentation? You can ask for closed captioning if available.
I've seen some students at RIT make demands for interpreters when it's a captioned video presentation that's being made where students don't have any need for an interpreter. Boy, what a waste of funds. :roll:
