Disabled Student Programs & Services LEARNING DISABILITIES ASSESSMENT
Students should apply for learning disability assessment as early as
possible. Testing may take one to two months to arrange. The presence of a
learning disability can prevent students from achieving their highest potential, often resulting in reading and/or writing
difficulty, math difficulty, poor grades, etc. If you suspect you may have a
learning disability, an eligibility assessment is available. If a disability
exists, you will be eligible for DSPS services. Eligible students with
learning disabilities are provided individualized instruction; prescribed
tutorials and adapted computer hardware and software. To be assessed for a
learning disability, sign up for Guid. 343, Introduction to Learning
Disabilities. Students may take up to 4 units each semester of Guid, 345,
Adaptive Strategies for the Learning Disabled.
