Gregory, Martha Wille, Ed.
This training module was developed to introduce postsecondary personnel to the support services available for students with disabilities at Longview Community College in Missouri. The module covers the definition and philosophy of support services, including the development of rehabilitation services, independent living, and the disability rights movement. It offers statistics on the percentage of full-time freshmen with disabilities and types of disabilities. It describes campus services for students with disabilities, including physical accommodations, copying assistance, enlargement of materials, interpreter services, notetaking services, testing services, textbooks on tape, and others. The module also describes outside resources, such as AHEAD (Association on Higher Education and Disability) and the HEATH Resource Center, and community services, including independent living, financial assistance, reading and referral services, transportation, and national toll free hotlines. The module contains handouts and overheads used to enhance important points. Handouts include a list of functions of disability service programs, a student services handbook for special needs students at Longview Community College, descriptions of community resources, and information about Project ABLE (a structured curriculum for individuals with learning disabilities or head injuries).
