CART Services
CART stands for Communication Access Real-time translation (real-time captioning). Real-Time Captioning involves a transcribing of all of the communication in the classroom so that the student with a hearing loss can read along, fill in information they were unable to hear, and otherwise follow and participate in the learning environment.

Notetaking Services
In-class notetaking service is for students whose disabilities limit them from taking effective notes, and is determined a reasonable accommodation by a ACCESS counselor. A volunteer notetaker is a student registered in the same class as Notetaking services are being requested. They are individuals identified by the ACCESS student who agree to perform the duties of a notetaker. ACCESS can provide a stipend payment for students who volunteer to be in-class notetakers.
