Learning Disabilities SUPPORT SERVICES

After the assessment process, an Individual Plan is developed with recommendations for needed skills
training and appropriate accommodations. Following is a list of accommodations and services that the
student may be eligible for as indicated in his/her personal educational plan. 

• Test Proctoring
  If recommended as an appropriate accommodation on your Student Educational Contract,
  this option offers a quiet, non-distracted environment, with extra  time if indicated.
  

• Priority Registration
  For Fall and Spring only

• Volunteer Note takers
  This is an option for students who have difficulty listening and taking notes at  the same time.
  Tape recording lectures is also an option, but it is also possible to request the assistance of a
  student in the class who is a good note taker and is willing to volunteer. See your contact instructor.

• Books on tape and E-text
   This is an excellent resource for students who have reading 
   difficulties.  Discuss with your contact instructor. Click here for more
