This resource is quite lengthy, and requires the user to read and understand questions about many different aspects of studying and learning. They do recommend that the person filling out the survey have another person present to discuss their answers with, which I think would be necessary for some people. One main concern that I have with this resource is the choice of background on the screen. The pattern of the dots distracts from the words on the page. Also, many of the questions require a yes/no answer, where a rating scale may be more appropriate. I think this survey would be more effective if condensed, or perhaps used as an outline for an interview with the student.

It took me several years of struggling with the heavy door to my building, sometimes having to wait until a person stronger came along, to realize that the door was an accessibility problem, not only for me, but for others as well. And I did not notice, until one of my students pointed it out, that the lack of signs that could be read from a distance at my university forced people with mobility impairments to expend a lot of energy unnecessarily, searching for rooms and offices. Although I have encountered this difficulty myself on days when walking was exhausting to me, I interpreted it, automatically, as a problem arising from my illness (as I did with the door), rather than as a problem arising from the built environment having been created for too narrow a range of people and situations.
