For students who are late deafened or hard of hearing, accommodations in postsecondary
programs often include the use of assistive listening devices such as infrared or FM systems.
But this same technology can be used in foreign language interpreting, public presentations
and other special events that include the general public. How, then, does an
office of disability services attend to student needs, make the equipment available for
other purposes, and provide maintenance and repairs? This presentation details how our
campus developed an effective method of providing these services through a cooperative
agreement between campus departments
