Hello, here are my thoughts:
Depending on what college he goes to they may offer note taking services. This
can be something thorough such as the school paying another student to take
notes or if the funding is not there (as was the case at SJSU when I went there
as a legally blind student) just asking the professor to make an announcement
in class if someone is willing to share their notes if they are taken digitally.
The DOR did offer to hire someone but the rate was so low it was not worth the
process to get them hired.
I ended up recording all of my lectures, getting some notes from classmates and
transcribing the lectures that warranted the time.
I wonder if Hadley offers something ...

Subject: [visionrehabtherapist] Notetaking Skills
Good Afternoon,
We have a student who is being taught skills to get ready for college along
with the use ADL stuff. The staff is noticing that whenever we ask him to
listen to a slelection and take notes, he basically does one sentence
recordings. Is there any information on notetaking skills for someone who is
visually impaired?
