This accommodation provides an alternative means for students to express their knowledge and understanding without being hindered by their disability. For individuals with motor disabilities, such as paralysis or limited dexterity, physically writing or typing can be a significant challenge. By having a scribe, these students can effectively communicate their answers verbally, allowing them to fully demonstrate their knowledge and skills. Similarly, students with visual impairments can benefit from having a scribe who can read the exam questions aloud and transcribe their responses accurately. This accommodation ensures that these students are not disadvantaged due to their disability and promotes equal opportunities for academic success.

Various disabilities can benefit from having a scribe or a person dictating during exams or quizzes. Students with physical disabilities that affect their fine motor skills, such as cerebral palsy or muscular dystrophy, can find this accommodation particularly helpful. Additionally, individuals with visual impairments, including blindness or low vision, can benefit from a scribe reading the exam questions aloud and transcribing their answers. Students with learning disabilities, such as dyslexia or dysgraphia, may also find it advantageous to have a scribe to help them effectively express their thoughts and ideas during exams. Overall, providing a scribe or a person dictating during assessments can ensure that students with disabilities have an equitable opportunity to demonstrate their knowledge and abilities, fostering a more inclusive learning environment.

 Firstly, establish clear guidelines and procedures for requesting such accommodations in advance, preferably at the beginning of the semester. Ensure that the scribe is familiar with the exam format and guidelines and maintains confidentiality. During the exam, the scribe should accurately transcribe the student's dictated answers without providing any input or altering the content. Regular checks and quality assurance measures should be implemented to maintain fairness and consistency in the process. Ultimately, open communication and collaboration between students, faculty, and the Center for Accessibility and Disability Resources  are crucial for effective implementation of scribe or dictate accommodations during exams or quizzes in a university classroom.
