Subject: Help Needed - Dyslexia

Hello,

I have dyslexia in a way that greatly affects reading and writing, and I feel that no matter how much I try I cannot get the accommodations that I need for my learning disability for a university level classical Greek language course at Southern Illinois University Carbondale. The problem that I am having with self-advocacy is becoming so bad that recently when I asked for more than one day to do a difficult classical Greek translation assignment for a class taught by Doctor Fredric Williams my instructor addressed the class asking if my accommodation was reasonable. I do not know how to advocate for reasonable accommodations when an instructor is as powerful and unwilling to compromise as Doctor Williams is.

When I approach the university departments about my problem, the departments do not appear to do anything that is helpful. I made a web sight about my feelings, letters, and university correspondence regarding the subject. The link for the web sight appears below.

Please help me my evaluating my web sight and offering suggestions.

Thank you,
