The Cortland College Skills Center at the State University of New York, Cortland, helps students learn how they learn best, providing assistance in reading, writing, researching, listening, speaking, vocabulary, study skills, math, and standardized test preparation. Services are offered for learning disabled (LD) and handicapped students, and the center also provides information, workshops, in-class presentations, and materials for faculty. The 18 components of the Skill Center include: develop skill programs; hire and train instructors; conduct ongoing training sessions for tutors; administer exams orally to students having problems processing information visually; provide supplemental materials and workshops in skill development for faculty; give inservice workshops for elementary/secondary teachers; and give workshops for Cortland faculty. Significant achievements of Skills Center include: from the 1983-1984 school year to the 1987-1988 school year, the number of students receiving assistance at the Skills Center more than doubled; College Learning Center directors from 12 colleges visited the Center for purposes of implementing many of its services on their campuses; and a 2% increase of faculty referred students occurred. Recent changes in the program include an increased number of hours available for math tutoring, workshops of frequent demand repeated several time, and LD students taught to use WordPerfect on the IBM PC.
