In winter 1985, a survey of all California community colleges was conducted to identify and describe the types of programs and services provided by the colleges to students with developmental disabilities (DD). Questionnaires mailed to all 106 community colleges yielded a 100% response rate. Study findings included the following: (1) 44% of the colleges operated formal programs for the developmentally disabled, and 31% provided informal services for the DD students; (2) the total DD student population exceeded 7000 students, with 92% enrolled in formal programs and receiving full services; (3) DD students were enrolled in off-campus programs rather than on-campus programs at a rate of 4:1, and enrolled in non-credit programs rather than credit programs at a rate of 5:1; (4) 50% or more of the student referrals for a DD program came from parents/relatives, public schools and California's Regional Centers; and (5) 63% of the colleges administered normed, commercially available tests to program applicants. The study report concludes with six recommendations for improving DD services. Twenty-two tables supplement the text and appendices include additional tables and the survey instrument. (LAL)
