TITLE: A Study on Handicapped Services.
YEAR PUBLISHED: 1980
NOTE: 63 p.
ABSTRACT: Information and recommendations concerning the
improvement of Trident Technical College's (TTC's) programs
and services are presented in light of federal requirements
and institutional obligations. An institutional statement
outlining TTC's affirmative position toward educational
access for the handicapped is followed by an enumeration of
13 recommendations for the improvement of services to the
handicapped. These recommendations include the
establishment of procedures and regulations for handicapped
services and programs; the creation of a student review
board, a handicapped advisory committee, and a handicapped
awareness program; and the implementation of an
instructional development program to assist faculty in
identifying handicapped students and meeting their
instructional needs. The report then outlines TTC's legal
obligations under Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of
1973, and then examines present and suggested services for
the handicapped in the areas of admission and registration,
academic advisement, student financial aid, veterans'
affairs, job placement, and library services. The remainder
of the report examines available community resources for
handicapped education, handicapped instructional needs,
physical barriers, sources of funding, grievance
procedures, evaluation of handicapped services, and the
role of a proposed Program Accessibility Committee. (JP)
