Program offers help to students<\/strong><\/p>\n

In honor of Disability Awareness Month, the DSP&S program hosted an Open House on Oct. 29.<\/p>\n

\u201cI believe it was to bring awareness to students of the disabilities program in general,\u201d wrote Seth Harris, English\/environmental science tutor and liberal arts senior student at SJCC. <\/p>\n

The event was informative in many ways.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was to introduce our program to the campus community, which includes students, faculty and staff,\u201d Adaptive Technology Specialist Joanne Nakaso wrote in an email. \u201cWe also wanted to introduce our new supervisor Edina Rutland and new staff members Mary Denham (counselor), Kathy Buob (instructional assistant) and Tait Rafat (adapted P.E. instructor).\u201d <\/p>\n

The program offers help to students who meets DSP&S\u2019 requirements.<\/p>\n

\u201cStudents who think they might qualify should stop by the office for an appointment,\u201d Nakaso wrote.<\/p>\n

The DSP&S is in room SC-106, on the first floor of the Student Center, next to the Campus Bookstore.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou must provide certification of disability and meet with one of our program counselors, who will review your certification and determine which accommodations will meet your needs,\u201d Nakaso wrote.<\/p>\n

Students who have these blindness, low vision, deaf\/hard of hearing, mobility, dexterity, learning disabilities and mental health can qualify for the program, Nakaso wrote.<\/p>\n

\u201cDSP&S provides support services and specialized instructions to help students with disabilities to succeed at SJCC by providing computer-aided instruction, adaptive word processing in our Hi-Tech Computer Center; interpreting and captioning services; adaptive physical education and tutoring,\u201d DSP&S Supervisor Edina Rutland wrote in an email.<\/p>\n

The program and staff help students with variety of issues.<\/p>\n

\u201cTwo parts to my job; basically tech support for the program,\u201d Nakaso said. \u201cThe Adaptive Media refers to non standard printed material, which is newspapers, magazines and books.\u201d<\/p>\n

There is alot of students who come in for the DSP program.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe number of students coming for services varies from semester to semester\u201d Rutland wrote. \u201cIn the Fall 2014 semester we have over 700 students.\u201d<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
