working at student disability services. - December 21st 2011, 09:44 PM
Recently I got a job at Student Disability Services at my university. I'm a proctor (distribute exams,make sure no one cheats, collect exams, etc...). Sometimes I don't know how to act around disabled people though. Like sometimes I'm not sure if I should offer my help or not, because I don't want anyone to think I don't think they are capable of doing things themselves or anything. I know that when people with hearing disabilities come in, I should speak to them, not their interpretor, but there are SO many different disabilities that I come in contact with daily.
AND I've had a few girls from my sorority/other sororities/fraternities come in. I don't know whether to say hi to them or let them come say hi to me first. And should I just not bring it up when I see them outside of the student disabilty services?
Thanks!
