Included are the services of personal assistance with daily hygiene requirements, handicapped parking areas, assistance in locating adapted housing off campus, training in the activities of daily living to achieve a greater degree of independence, and the coordination of campus mobility orientation for students who have visual impairments. Students have access to all areas of Montgomery County via the completely accessible public transit system. These services are designed to assist students with physical and learning disabilities in meeting all academic requirements at the university. Counseling for issues regarding academics is also available. The Technology Center provides classroom materials in alternative formats that include audio cassette tapes, computer disks, braille, and image enhancement.
Opportunities also exist for students to have various work site experiences.
These methods allow students to make realistic decisions about future careers and ensure that the students are able to meet the demands of their chosen occupations. A pre-service interview and professional documentation of disability are required prior to utilization of our services. The purpose of the interview is to assess disability-related needs and to plan services accordingly. Please send comments to the Office of Student Life .
