New Strategies for Tutoring for Students with Disabilities were developed by the Student Support Services Program at Wichita State University (KS)  (approved Promising Practice 10/15/13) TRIO DSS tutors are trained to work with students with disabilities, whether the disability is physical, psychological, neurological, or other.  Their training includes workshops on different types of disabilities and how to work with students with disabilities in individual situations.  Tutors are given the student’s learning styles (visual, auditory, kinesthetic, or a combination) and work with their learning styles, adapting their tutoring methods to match their learning methods.  The tutoring program model of student academic support is designed to assist students with disabilities at the college level pass courses in which they face academic hardship due to their disabilities and to help them move toward their goal of a four-year degree while experiencing new and innovative learning strategies
