21. AHEAD 2012 Professors who resist Digital Recording • http://www.ada.gov/pubs/adastatute08.htm • Digital Recording is an auxiliary aid, Sec. 12103, 1.C. • Sec. 1282, 2.A. iii: a failure to take such steps as may be necessary to ensure that no individual with a disability is excluded, denied services, segregated or otherwise treated differently than other individuals because of the absence of auxiliary aids and services, unless the entity can demonstrate that taking such steps would fundamentally alter the nature of the good, service, facility, privilege, advantage, or accommodation being offered or would result in an undue burden

25. What Students Are Saying… My name is Shannon LeBlanc and I am a third year undergraduate student studying Biology-Mathematics at the University of New Brunswick here in Canada. The Livescribe Smart Pen was recommended to me by my neurologist and I have been a faithful user now for two years. I am now a Student Ambassador for UNB's Student Accessibility Centre and I have been recommending the Smart Pen to numerous university students with various disabilities from short term memory or amnesia, to deafness in one year. I myself have benefited greatly since I have started using the Livescribe Smart Pen. I was always an A+ student, then I had an unfortunate accident in which my memory lacked its ability to retain information like I used to. Furthermore, I was no longer able to multitask, making taking notes in class very difficult. But when I began using the Livescribe Smart Pen I was able to take notes during my lectures and then listen to the lectures later that evening to recall what we learned. The Livescribe Smart Pen was the perfect study tool for a university student like myself. Sincerely,Shannon Rose LeBlanc
