Directory of Disability Support Services in Community Colleges, 1992.
Barnett, Lynn, Ed.
In 1992, survey data were gathered from 619 public and private community, technical, and junior college disability support service (DSS) personnel regarding DSS services and accommodations in those institutions during the 1991-92 academic year. Designed as a resource for administrators, counselors, students, parents, and policymakers, this report consists of a detailed state-by-state directory providing data on each of the 619 colleges responding to the survey. For each institution, 1991-92 data are provided on: (1) institution location and contact person; (2) total enrollment and DSS enrollment; (3) DSS graduates receiving associate degrees and certificates; (4) numbers of students registered in each of the DSS categories of visual impairment or blindness, deafness/hard of hearing, orthopedic/mobility disorders, speech/language disorders, learning disabilities, developmental disabilities, emotional/behavior disorders, head injuries, and chronic illness and other disabilities; (5) available support services and accommodations; special program features; and outcomes. The remaining sections of the report include a detailed table listing support services and accommodations by state; an index listing special DSS program features (e.g., assessment, and career counseling) and the institutions providing them; and an institutional index. Appendixes provide information on the Americans with Disability Act; list exemplary program award recipients; and review organizational resources. The survey instrument and a summary of the survey findings are included. (PAA)
