Periodic review and prioritization of services also helps them to be more effective.

Also, Staffs feel the primary key to success is to be seen as working in collaboration with the rest of the college, not imposing on them.

Foothill was able to be more effective once they physically consolidated services and changed their name from "Special Education"

to "Adaptive Learning." Periodic review and prioritization of services also helps them to be more effective.

The Adaptive Learning Division of Foothill College is a comprehensive service for students

experiencing physical, psychological, and learning disabilities. Among the services the

division provides are alternative media including close-captioned videos for the hearing

impaired and electronic texts for the blind, note takers, loaned personal listening systems,

alternative test taking environments and equipment, and a shuttle service.
