Student Support for Students with Disabilities at Foothill College |
|
Foothill was able to be more effective once they physically consolidated services and changed their name from "Special Education" to "Adaptive Learning." A program of increasing campus awareness and support to students with disabilities was designed to create greater awareness of the needs of students with disabilities and provide support to instructors in how to best meet these needs. 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.
