PACKING LIST

WHAT TO PACK:

* Participants are encouraged to bring a laptop computer with internet capabilities.
For several of the planned homework assignments you will be asked to go online to search for information or examples. Having a computer available will also make it easier to compile and share group assignments. Some resource materials will also be provided in electronic format as Word documents or .pdf files. If you do not have access to a personal laptop computer or one that can be loaned out through your institution, contact the Boot Camp instructors for assistance.

* Each participant should bring a copy of any existing policies/procedures regarding students with disabilities on your campus
Significant time will be spent assuring that each participant leaves Boot Camp with a working set of policies/procedures to guide their on-campus activities. If your office does not yet have established policies/procedures, we will help you create and tailor such guidelines to suit your situation; if there is existing structure for your services, we will review that structure in depth and help to refine and supplement such documents.

* Each participant must bring a copy of your existing position description.

* Each participant must bring a copy of the organization chart showing the placement of disability services within the institutional structure.

* If the campus has done a recent (within 3 years) survey of physical accessibility, please bring it along.

* Bring one copy of each existing form currently in use in your office (anything from confidentiality releases, to faculty notification letters, to initial intake forms, to ???)

* Prior to the start of Boot Camp, you will be contacted by one of your instructors about additional information to be packed, including information about the population of students you serve, information about your own background before assuming your current position, and information about the campus climate in which you serve.
