Support Services:
Like hearing students, deaf and hard of hearing students will surely find community college course work more challenging than high school. Any student who foresees having a problem in a class should request support services in the Special Resource Center. Those who want to learn to be more successful can consider enrolling in Educational Development 31 ABCD (Increased Learning Performance). Opportunities to work with instructional aides in developing skill needed to succeed in college are available.
Notetaking Services:
Notetakers sit near the deaf or hard of hearing students and take notes in the class. The Special Resource Center can help you arrange for notetakers and can provide notetaking materials.
Assistive Listening Devices:
A Phonic ear is available to each student who needs sound amplification while the instructor is lecturing in the classroom. Students may borrow the equipment from the Special Resource Center.
Real Time Captioning (RTC):
Real time captioners sit near the students and transcribe what is stated in the classroom via the use of stenographic equipment. Hard copies of notes are available by bringing disks to the Special Resource Center.
