College Success: A Handbook for Students with Disabilities.
Turchi, R. Jeanette
This handbook for students with disabilities was developed as part of the EASE (Equal Access for Students to Education and Experience) Project at Mesabi Community College in northeastern Minnesota. After an introductory letter from the Project Director, there is a statement on the college philosophy and commitment to students with disabilities and suggestions for getting started in college. Next, the role of the Individual Education Plan in working towards an Associate in Arts Degree is discussed, along with the possibility of developmental educational classes, special accommodations, and tutoring. Support services for students with disabilities in general and for students with visual impairments, hearing impairments, learning disabilities, physical impairments, and psychological disabilities in particular are outlined. Suggestions for accessing the following accommodations are provided: test accommodations, final examination accommodations, interpreting service, notetakers, taping of lectures, duplicating, proofreading, writing, taped textbooks, priority registration, enlarged print, and special equipment/special computer software. The next section of guidelines for the student is on time management, stress management, and personal responsibility. Remaining sections provide a definition of "disability," consider disabilities and the law, list local service agencies, and present a map of the college. (DB)
