Student Support

How Do I Request Services?

 

To request services, a SMC student shall

1.    Complete a DSPS Application (opens in new window) and provide verification of disability.
2.    Meet with a DSPS counselor to plan classes, discuss the student's disability related needs, and if 
       appropriate, refer the student to a Learning Disability (LD) specialist, High Tech Training (HTTC) specialist 
       or Acquired Brain Injury (ABI) faculty member.
3.    Enroll in classes.
4.    Complete the Student Educational Contract/Educational Plan.
5.    Review the Student Rights and Responsibilities.
6.    Consult with instructor(s) to discuss appropriate accommodations, if necessary.
 

An instructor may refer a student to the DSPS office to request services and accommodations since they may not be qualified to evaluate the student's disability related needs.
