Student Note takers vs. Smartpen
Students are people too!
They’re going to take down what they think is
important
They’re going to make mistakes; they’re not
perfect
Smartpen puts the control back on the SWD
Smartpen enhances independence in the SWD
Smartpen promotes lifelong skill development
Smartpen aids in the transition to the workforce

Professors who resist Digital Recording
– http://www.ada.gov/pubs/adastatute08.htm
– Digital Recording is an auxiliary aid, Sec. 12103, 1.C.
– Sec. 1282, 2.A. iii: a failure to take such steps as may
be necessary to ensure that no individual with a
disability is excluded, denied services, segregated or
otherwise treated differently than other individuals
because of the absence of auxiliary aids and services,
unless the entity can demonstrate that taking such
steps would fundamentally alter the nature of the
good, service, facility, privilege, advantage, or
accommodation being offered or would result in an
undue burden
AHEAD 2012

What Students Are Saying…
My name is Shannon LeBlanc and I am a third year undergraduate student studying BiologyMathematics at the University of New Brunswick here in Canada. The Livescribe Smart Pen was
recommended to me by my neurologist and I have been a faithful user now for two years.
I am now a Student Ambassador for UNB's Student Accessibility Centre and I have been
recommending the Smart Pen to numerous university students with various disabilities
from short term memory or amnesia, to deafness in one year.
I myself have benefited greatly since I have started using the Livescribe Smart Pen. I was
always an A+ student, then I had an unfortunate accident in which my memory lacked its ability
to retain information like I used to. Furthermore, I was no longer able to multitask, making taking
notes in class very difficult. But when I began using the Livescribe Smart Pen I was able to take
notes during my lectures and then listen to the lectures later that evening to recall what we
learned. The Livescribe Smart Pen was the perfect study tool for a university student like
myself.
Sincerely,
Shannon Rose LeBlanc
