Managing note taking accommodations is expensive. For many disability services teams, a reliance on peer notetakers means costs that increase year on year, with no clear way to bring them under control without compromising student support.

In this case study webinar, **Christian Yee, Auxiliary Services Supervisor at the University of California, Berkeley,** shares how his team cut their annual note taking spend from a quarter of a million dollars, and kept cutting.

**In this session, you'll:**

*   Discover how UC Berkeley moved away from a costly peer notetaker model to a centralised, scalable approach
*   Learn the steps Christian took to secure institutional buy-in from faculty and leadership
*   Understand how to build a business case for change when budget is a key concern
*   Explore how centralising accommodations can improve consistency and reduce administrative pressure on your team
*   Apply lessons from UC Berkeley's implementation timeline to your own institutional context
