ACCOMMODATIONS FOR DISABILITIES

Accommodations for Disabilities
Disabled Student Program and Services (DSPS) is tailored to meet the individual needs of students with disabilities. SCE strives to provide the student with a successful educational experience by offering a variety of support services that meet federal mandates. Special classes are designed and offered to enhance vocational, independent living, academic, and social skills. Classes offered include Adaptive Physical Fitness, Banking and Bill Paying, Basic Cooking, Communication on the Job, Independent Living Skills, Relationships and Sexuality, Self-Advocacy, and more. Classes are located at all three campuses, as well as community facilities. Several trends have emerged to challenge the manner in which services/programs have been traditionally offered. There is a growing population of non-English speaking students with disabilities. Traditional English-as-a-Second Language (ESL) classes, even with accommodations, are not always a good fit. Students with mild and borderline disabilities are not fully prepared for the fast pace of college studies, even with accommodations, but require more rigor than a special class can provide. The incidence of autism is on the rise nationwide. A growing number of students are reaching college age and are looking for a postsecondary experience, often requiring unique accommodations.
