Disability Services coordinates accommodations for students who self identify with a disability. This includes but is not limited to students with learning disabilities; students who are deaf and hard of hearing; and students with mental, visual, mobility and other physical disabilities. Each campus has a disability coordinator who provides compensatory strategies that are individualized, flexible, and confidential based on the nature of the disability and the educational environment.
Specialized Deaf and Hard of Hearing Services
In addition to classroom accommodations, such as sign language interpreters, captionists and notetakers, for students who are deaf or hard of hearing, Disability Services provides enhanced services: a deaf and hard of hearing specialist certified in American Sign Language who provides counseling services; nationally certified staff interpreter staff captionist; and SOTAC, a state-wide outreach program that provides technical assistance and training on accommodations, services and education for deaf and hard of hearing individuals.
Disability Services as a Resource
Disability Services staff are available to provide in-service training and orientation to faculty and staff working with students with disabilities. Additional information on Disability Services can be found at the GPC website or by calling 678-891-3385.
