Complete Appendices A (Budget History), B1, C (PLO's), and D (A few questions) prior to writing your narrative. You should also review your most recent success, equity, course sequence, and enrollment data at http://www.chabotcollege.edu/ProgramReview/Data2015.asp In year one, you established goals and action plans for program improvement. This section asks you to reflect on the progress you have made toward those goals. This analysis will be used to assess progress toward achievement of our Strategic Plan and to inform future budget decisions. In your narrative of two or less pages, address the following questions: What program improvement goals did you establish? Did you achieve the goals you established for the three years? Specifically describe your progress on goals you set for student learning, program learning, equity, and Strategic Plan achievement. What best practices have you developed? Those could include pedagogical methods, strategies to address Basic Skills needs of our students, methods of working within your discipline, and more. Are these best practices replicable in other disciplines or areas? What were your greatest challenges? Were there institutional barriers to success? Cite relevant data in your narrative (e.g., efficiency, persistence, success, FT/PT faculty ratios, SAO/PLO assessment results, external accreditation demands, etc.). 2. What’s Next? This section may serve as the foundation for your next Program Review cycle, and will inform the development of future strategic initiatives for the college. In your narrative of one page or less, address the following questions. Please complete Appendices E (New and Ongoing Initiatives and Projects) and F1-8 (Resources Requested) to support your narrative. What goals do you have for future program improvement? What ideas do you have to achieve those goals? What must change about the institution to enable you to make greater progress in improving student learning and overall student success? What Have We Accomplished? About DSPS: Disabled Students Programs & Services, (DSPS) is made up of 5 program areas: Adaptive Physical Education, Computer Application Systems, Learning Skills, Psychology-Counseling and the Disabled Students Resource Center (DSRC). The first 4 program areas are academic programs and the DSRC is the service area component of the program. The DSRC provides academic accommodations which are legally mandated by the Rehabilitation Act of 1973: PL 504 & PL 508, Americans with Disability Act (ADA) and Title V to students with documented physical, communicative, psychological and learning disabilities. DSPS currently serve over 1000 unduplicated students with documented disabilities. It is quite an accomplishment that DSPS has maintained our program areas despite the severe budget crisis we endured several years ago. Program Accomplishments: We are proud that even with the retirement of 2 Tenured Learning Disability Specialists, DSPS faculty and staff diligently follow the required State assessment regulations to determine eligibility for learning disability eligibility and provide mandated reasonable accommodations for students with disabilities. In this way are assessments are creditable and accepted by other four year colleges, national board exams and employers. As a result several California State University send their students for assessments to Chabot College. DSPS is most proud of the positive impact our course offerings have on the success of students with disabilities. Most DSPS courses are consistently filled through the excellent course curriculum specifically developed to teach DSPS students compensatory strategies, understanding their disabilities and becoming aware of their strengths and weaknesses. As a result, students are successful in college level courses in English, Mathematics and Computer Application Systems by providing them with a strong foundation and teaching them to become critical thinkers. DSPS courses support students with disabilities to become comfortable with their disabilities, utilizing academic reasonable accommodations and asking for assistance when needed. The curriculum of DSPS courses are designed to develop the whole person; build self-esteem, social skills, social cognition, Problem solving, and becoming independent participants in their academic process. Thus, assisting students with disabilities to reach their full potential and achieve their education goals. This year we have reinstated several courses that we lost during the budget crisis: ENGL. 116 .72E and ENGL 120 in the Spring semester. Our goal is still to enhance our course offerings to provide a strong academic foundation for the increasing number of students with acquired brain injuries, Autism (It is projected that 1 in 64 males will be diagnosed with Autism and entering college in the next 7 years), developmental disabilities, Wounded Warriors, etc. These students would greatly benefit from a cognitive learning course. Our hope is to offer this course in the Spring of 2017. The DSRC has also maintained and enhanced our services and accommodations to meet the increasing number of student requests, plus providing updated accommodation delivery services. The support services the DSRC provides are academic, career, personal and crisis counseling. the academic accommodations we provide (but not limited to) include: assistive technology (screen reader, text to speech, screen enlargement and speech recognition programs), alternative testing, sign language interpreters, real-time captioners, remote captioners, readers, scribes, shared note takers, Braille transcription, tactile graphics enlarge print texts, e-text, close captioning of videos and mobility cart services. Our students are greatly impacted by our program as demonstrated by their success in achieving their educational goals of earning Certificates, AA/AS degrees, transferring to four year colleges and personal enrichment, due to our course curriculum and the academic accommodations we provide. Our students’ success is due to the collaborative efforts of the DSPS staff, Student Services program areas, Academic Divisions and Administrators throughout the campus. Despite our hectic schedules the DSPS staff participates in shared governance by sitting on AB86, COOL, Facility, Health & Safety, PRBC, SSSP, and Technology Committees. We worked on Accreditation rewrites as well as sitting on Chancellor’s Office Advisory Committees: High Tech Center Training Unit (HTCTU) and Alternate Text Production Center) ATPC). This year several of the staff attended California Association of Post-Secondary Educators & the Disabled (CAPED) conference with DSPS funding. This Conference provided us with crucial information pertaining to requirements that will go into effect in Fall 2016. These changes pertain to the disability categories that receive funding and the number of contacts DSPS students must have to be counted for funding. Faculty & Classified Staffing Accomplishments Plus New Requests: We accomplished our goal of hiring a full-time DSPS Counselor/Instructor, (who is in her second year of the tenure process), a full-time Learning Disability Instructor (who is in her first year of the tenure process and will earn her LD Certification by May 2016, thus making her a LD Specialist), and our Counselor Assistant II is now a permanent employee having successfully completed the probation period. One of our Learning Skills Instructional Assistants II who was permanent part-time is now a full-time employee for DSPS. We have just hired our Counselor Assistant I and we are awaiting her start date. DSPS Director -During the Accreditation interviews with the Vice President of Student Services and the Dean of Special Programs, they were surprised that DSPS still had a Counselor/Coordinator instead of a Director. They mentioned that large DSPS programs like Chabot College are under Directors. Since the DSPS Director would be an Administrator level position, they would be a 40 hour per week/12 month employee able to supervise faculty and staff. Their responsibility would include overseeing the complicated DSPS budget, all Student Assistant hirings, the daily operations of all DSPS program areas, assist with DSPS course offerings, and complete the DSPS End of The Year Report. As a result the program would be more consistently managed which would lead to a more stable DSPS program. The current DSPS Counselor/Coordinator will be retiring at the end of May, 2016. Learning Disability Specialist-In May of 2015 we lost a LD Specialist due to retirement; by replacing this position DSPS will be able to maintain our Learning Skills course offerings for students with learning disabilities. As shown above these courses are crucial to insure the success of our students. With a full time Specialist the DSPS Learning Skills program will be once again stable and able to provide them with continuity. DSPS Counselor-The DSRC will be able to maintain our increasing counseling needs by providing more academic counseling, personal counseling, career counseling, complete more Student Education Plans, put through more academic accommodation forms, etc. WE also will be in a better position to provide crisis counseling when this need arises. In this way we will be in a position to maintain and enhance our DSPS PSCN course offerings to meet the needs of our growing number of students with disabilities by assisting them with achieving their education goals. Assistive Technology Instructor – This hiring is necessary for DSPS, since we have not had a full time instructor since December, 2009 due to a retirement. Our CAS courses are essential for the success of students with disabilities, who enroll in the college having little or no computer skills or knowledge of the benefits of using assistive technology to complete their course work. Computer Lab Specialist- This position is essential to assist students with disabilities while working on their assignments with the correct use of computer hardware and software, keeping track of the computers that require IT repair and software updates and the physical maintenance of the computer stations in the DSRC Hi-Tech Lab and in the General Area. Facility Requests: At the beginning of the Fall, 2014 Semester we were given permission to use 2338/2340 on a temporary basis to increase the number of alternative tests we could proctor at a given time. We had gone from 8 testing stations to over 40. Unfortunately, at the beginning of fall 2015 these rooms were given to another program; the DSRC was given rm. 501 in bldg. 500. We have only been able to use this area once since the beginning of the semester because we need a classified person in the room to proctor exams. It was necessary for us to close the DSRC Hi-Tech Lab for testing. The students working on homework assignments using assistive technology had to stop working. Many of our students request the use of assistive technology while taking test; presently we still only have 3 assistive technology testing stations. We are very concerned that if there were an emergency requiring the DSRC staff to evacuate the testing area we may not safely evacuate the area in a timely manner. Also the area is not ADA compliant depending on how many student are wheel chair users, etc. a result. It is critical that we find a permanent testing area which can increase our assistive technology availability during alternative testing. This can be accomplished by renovating the DSRC general area or relocating the entire DSRC. In the Summer of 2015, DSPS purchased 16 new scanners which enables the students to scan their books at their stations during Kurzweil 3000/1000 Instruction, rather than wait until 1 of the 4 scanners previously in the center was available. We also purchased ergonomic office chairs and electric tables to better provide accessible computer stations for students with disabilities. The DSPS staff with the addition of new faculty are in the process of building a team approach so we can continue to work together creating a strong unit to better support our students. The DSPS team would not have made the achievements we have if it were not for the support of Chabot College. The College has demonstrated its commitment to serve students with disabilities and insure equity on the campus. 1. What’s Next? We placed the Resource Requests to in the first part of our narrative, since it demonstrates how our accomplishments and goals fit together. If we achieve our request for a DSPS Director. The DSPS program will become a better unified program. If we achieve our goal of hiring at least 2 of the 3 faculty positions, DSPS will be in a better position for growth. We are not only referring to growth by the number of faculty and staff in DSPS, but there is a large population of persons with disabilities in the community. With more faculty and staff better community outreach can be achieved. This can be accomplished by either visiting schools, agencies, centers or having them come to us where we can conduct tours of the DSRC plus other areas throughout the campus. The DSPS tours we conduct for high school students in Special Education programs each Spring semester have been very successful, but these tours can be extended to include more community programs. It will be critical for DSPS to examine the success rate of evening students scoring in ENGL. 116; are they successful in their classes without having taken ENGL. 117, 118A or B, since they are not offered in the evening. In previous DSPS Program Reviews our goal was to offer an evening ENGL. 118A in the Fall and an ENGL. 118B in the Spring. We were concerned that evening students were not being successful in ENGL. 101A or 102 without the benefit of DSPS Learning Skills courses in the evening. So many DSPS students have math difficulties, so it is great that we are continuing to offer ENGL. 119 in the evening. The best way to reduce the DSPS course conflicts and over laps is to examine the option of offering some of our DSPS courses as hybrid courses. If this were done, then it would be important to offer CAS 103 to support students in their online portions of their hybrid courses. In this way students would be able to receive support from the Hi-Tech Lab Student Assistants. Our hope is that our serious problems pertaining to alternative testing will have found a solution; that provides a safe, compliant, distraction free environment area near the DSRC for testing students with disabilities. Another option is to move the entire DSRC, allowing our service areas to be in 1place. We believe that the DSPS Administrators in Student Services understand, but we do not think the rest of the campus cares or understands. The DSRC staff is very discouraged and the students are very concerned. We were told that rooms 2338/40 were not attractive with mismatched tables and chairs, but the DSRC staff were relieved and happy. The staff knew they were providing appropriate alternative testing accommodations in a safe area where the staff could easily oversee the testing process with Student Assistant proctor. The students were happy, since they would be in an area with space and not crunched in the small area in the DSRC. Last year was a great testing year and now we are back to where we were before. Appendix A: Budget History and Impact Audience: Budget Committee, PRBC, and Administrators Purpose: This analysis describes your history of budget requests from the previous two years and the impacts of funds received and needs that were not met. This history of documented need can both support your narrative in Section A and provide additional information for Budget Committee recommendations.

How has your investment of the budget monies you did receive improved student learning? Which service or learning outcome were supported? Have the anticipated positive impacts been realized? The CCTV purchased as an ADA accommodation for a DSPS staff member; he is now more efficient in providing services for students with disabilities. 2. What has been the impact of not receiving some of your requested funding? How has student learning or service been impacted, or safety compromised, or enrollment or retention negatively impacted? This year we were able to purchase the scanners with DSPS funding. Unfortunately, the renovation of the DSRC’s testing area was not realized, nor did the DSRC move, so the computers for the testing area were not purchased.

Part II: Course- level Outcome Reflections A. COURSE-LEVEL OUTCOME (CLO) 1: 1. How do your current scores match with your above target for student success in this course level outcome? Students will be able to keyboard alphabetic characters by touch by identifying, the home row keys by demonstrating their knowledge of their keys through on hands assessments. 2. Reflection: Based on the data gathered, and considering your teaching experiences and your discussions with other faculty, what reflections and insights do you have? I feel that many students are able to identify, explain, implement, recognize, through adaptive keyboarding accommodations on a basic QWERTY keyboard, it is best to assess these students through hands on learning and rate their achievements on a case-by-case basis. B. COURSE-LEVEL OUTCOME (CLO) 2: 1. How do your current scores match with your above target for student success in this course level outcome? My current scores reflect that the students are able to perform basic computer operations by becoming familiar with the computer and its functions as well as the keyboard and finger placement, thus they are able to develop confidence that results in success. 2. Reflection: Based on the data gathered, and considering your teaching experiences and your discussions with other faculty, what reflections and insights do you have? Based on the date gathered, coupled with my teaching experiences, parlaying with faculty, I see the importance and need for the repetition of the understanding that comes with in class learning of the computer. Prior to this class, many students were unable to recall, describe, show, and relate, to the computer. This class allows for reinforcement of knowledge gained and gives me a greater sense of how little traditional evaluations play in this class. C. COURSE-LEVEL OUTCOME (CLO) 3: 1. How do your current scores match with your above target for student success in this course level outcome? The current scores demonstrate correct posture and finger placement. It is important to note that many students must execute finger placement and posture much like a student of the Piano or display posture like that of a horseback rider. Students start timidly, but as the semester progresses the charts justify the levels of success that is achievable in the classroom setting (some start typing 2 wpm and end the class typing between 15 to 20 wpm). 2. Reflection: Based on the data gathered, and considering your teaching experiences and your discussions with other faculty, what reflections and insights do you have? Data shows that repetition increases the student’s confidence level and as their confidence grows so does their typing speed and accuracy, along with their confidence. D. COURSE-LEVEL OUTCOME (CLO) 4: 1. How do your current scores match with your above target for student success in this course level outcome? 2.

COURSE-LEVEL OUTCOME (CLO) 5: ADD IF NEEDED. Part III: Course Reflections and Future Plans 1. What changes were made to your course based on the previous assessment cycle, the prior Closing the Loop reflections and other faculty discussions? We have adjusted for the students case-by-case needs and used a more user-friendly computer program. 2. Based on the current assessment and reflections, what course-level and programmatic strengths have the assessment reflections revealed? What actions has your discipline determined might be taken as a result of your reflections, discussions, and insights? Assessment’s reveal continued strengths in typing and through 24/7 availability students’ progress at their own speed, some faster, some slower, but everyone is a success. 3.

PSCN 20, 901, 902, 903 & 904, English 120, 121 and DSRC What questions or investigations arose as a result of these reflections or discussions? How can we provide academic accommodations to evening students? It is essential we continue to offer ENGL 116 & 119 in the evening. It will be necessary to replace the second LD Specialist in order to achieve this goal. What program-level strengths have the assessment reflections revealed? Strengths revealed: Since DSPS Program courses are consistently filled, students are successfully meeting these outcomes. We have an increasing number of students who are becoming more aware of their individual needs and requesting accommodations through the DSRC. Therefore DSPS students are passing higher level English and Math courses and completing their educational goals of earning Certificates, AA/AS degrees and transferring to 4 year colleges. What actions has your discipline determined might be taken to enhance the learning of students completing your program? Make certain that our course offerings have very little conflicts and/or overlaps with each other, thus allowing more students to enroll in the classes. This is essential since most of the courses are entry level courses. Appendix D: A Few Questions Please answer the following questions with "yes" or "no".

How does your project address the college's Strategic Plan goal, significantly improve student learning or service, and/or address disproportionate impact? The DSRC critically requires an additional dedicated area specifically used for testing, with 20 work stations which include 10 computers equipped with software and hardware installed with assistive technology. In order to serve our students with their increasing requests for use of Kurzweil 3000, 1000, Dragon Premium and JAWS during their tests, more testing space and more computer stations are imperative. We have long out grown our Testing Lab with room for 8 students which includes 3 computer stations. Due to the limited testing space with assistive technology, it is necessary for students to be tested in our small High Tech Center and in the DSRC general area. Both of these areas are not Title V, PL 504, and ADA compliant because they are not distraction free environments since classes are in session at the same time. We are very concerned for the safety of our students taking tests in our Testing Lab is such a small area during an emergency, it would be extremely difficult to evacuate students safely from the area. Also, if a student has a seizure or falls in the small Testing Lab, they could be injured or injure other students. Each semester the DSRC provides alternative testing for close to 2000 tests, with increasingly greater numbers of students requesting the use of assistive technology. Last academic year, we had the use of 2338 & 2340, this was great support for our students; it was close to the DSRC and we were able to provide 40 students testing accommodations at a single sitting. We hired a student assistant to proctor the exams as the staff easily went back and forth between 2300 and 2400. Unfortunately, we lost this area; we were given rm. 501 which does not easily work for us. Building 500 is across the campus, forcing a staff member to proctor the tests; this is not easily done due to the staff’s hectic schedules. As a result we have only used this room 1 time during the semester. Thus we are still in a bad testing situation. It is necessary for the DSRC to be renovated to meet our increasing testing needs, or relocate the entire DSRC. What is your specific goal and measurable outcome? (Note: Complete the Equity/BSI proposal in Appendix E1 if you would like to request these funds and indicate “see Equity/BSI proposal for detail”) With an increased Testing Lab, more students will be provided with appropriate mandated alternative testing accommodations with the use of assistive technology in a distraction free environment. Also, we can insure The safety of students taking tests during an emergency or an accident. Students taking classes in the Hi-Tech Center will feel more comfortable raising questions during class if no students are testing. Thus students with disabilities will have equal access to an education and become more successful in their classes and achieve their educational goals of earning Certificates, AA/AS degrees and transferring to four-year colleges. What learning or service area outcomes does your project address? Where in your program review are these outcomes and the results of assessment discussed (note: if assessment was completed during a different year, please indicate which year). SAO #1: More students with a disability will be taking their EPT & MPT in an ADA compliant and safe environment. SAO #2: DSPS Without a new testing area, DSPS students will not use alternative testing, rather taking their tests in the classroom, where they will not be successful. As a result, DSPS will lose contacts, and students will take a longer time to achieve their goals, due to repeating classes, or they will drop out of college completely. What is your action plan to achieve your goal? Target Completion Date To achieve increased testing access, it is critical that the DSRC TBD/ASAP be renovated, or the entire DSRC program be moved en masse to another area. It is imperative that the testing area be enhanced to include 10 new computer testing stations, with their associated assistive technology (Kurzweil 1000 and 3000, MAGic, Dragon Naturally Speaking Premium, CCTVs, etc.) Activity (brief description) Required Budget (Split out personnel, supplies, other categories) Budget is dependent on how the DSRC can be renovated to meet our growing needs, or where the DSRC would be relocated How will you manage the personnel needs? New Hires: Faculty # of positions Classified staff # of positions Reassigning existing employee(s) to the project; employee(s) current workload will be: Covered by overload or part-time employee(s) Covered by hiring temporary replacement(s) X Other, explain Current DSRC Full time Classified Staff will work on these projects. Their workload will become more efficient and less stressful with the equipment and alterations to the DSRC or relocate the entire DSRC, thus improving services for students with disabilities on the campus. At the end of the project period, the proposed project will: X Be completed (onetime only effort) Require additional funding to continue and/or institutionalize the project (obtained by/from): Will the proposed project require facility modifications, additional space, or program relocation? No X Yes, explain: The renovation of the existing DSRC to enhance the testing lab or relocate the entire DSRC is required to fulfill this project. Will the proposed project involve subcontractors, collaborative partners, or cooperative agreements? No X Yes, explain: At this time we do not know what plan will be utilized. Depending on the renovation or relocation that is decided upon, it will be determined if subcontractors or partners are necessary. Do you know of any grant funding sources that would meet the needs of the proposed project?

Please highlight the “X” that corresponds with your target populations. (Equity funds must address specific opportunity gaps identified below with an “X”) GOALS Goal A: Access Goal B: Goal C: Course ESL/Basic Completion / Skills Success Success Rates Males Foster Youth Students with disabilities Low-income Veterans Goal D2: Cert Goal E: Completion Transfer X X X X X X X X American Indian or Alaska Native Asian Black or African American Goal D1: Degree Completion X X X X X X X X Filipino X Hispanic or Latino X Hawaiian or Pacific Islander White X X X X X X X X X X X X X 2) COLLABORATIVE PARTNERS In what ways does your project include collaboration between academic and student services and/or with the community? (Equity proposals that partner to reach target populations are prioritized over proposals that do not) Many student with disabilities require individualized tutoring in courses from all instructional areas. We have collaboration with the adult schools in the area, and these students need tutoring beyond what is available through the regular channels. The fact that DSPS funding is not useable for tutoring, and yet this is a vital need, creates a void that equity funding could fill. Without this funding, our students do not have as good a chance for equitable success. To determine how your project fits into your discipline’s or program’s planning: 1) Is your project mentioned in your area’s latest program review? _X_ Yes _X_ No Since we cannot use DSPS funding for this service, it is crucial for DSPS student success that we get the funding through college equity funding 2) Does your immediate administrator support this project? __ No _X_ Yes 3) How have you shared this proposal with others in the relevant area, discipline, or division? When did this conversation take place and who was involved? All of DSPS staff have for many years been trying to determine how we could provide individualized tutoring for our students because there has always been a need. The restrictions of our funding have limited us from making it a reality thus far. PROJECT GOALS, ACTIVITIES, BUDGET, OUTCOMES, AND EVALUATION GOAL What does your project hope to achieve overall? The successful completion of courses, thus limiting the number of repeated courses per student . This will increase the overall persistence of students with disabilities across semesters. Finally, the end result will be increased completion of degrees, certificates, and transfers, in a timely manner. Thus, greater academic and career equity will be achieved. DOCUMENTING NEED AND SOLUTION Please provide data to support the need for your project and the solution you propose. The DSPS counselors spend a good amount of their time advising students struggling in their classes, many of whom end up dropping the class and/or having to repeat their classes, especially core classes. Unfortunately, since many DSPS students require individualized tutoring beyond what is provided on campus, these students often end up failing or dropping out. ACTIVITIES Please list all the activities (A.1, A. 2, A.3, etc.) that you propose to do to reach your goal. List activities by target date in chronological order. Identify the responsible person/group for each activity, and who will be involved. 1- Provide individualized core-class tutoring for students with disabilities, based on the advisement of their DSPS counselor. 2- We can begin implementing tutoring as soon as funding is available, as students who would benefit from this service have already been identified, as well as potential tutors. 3 - DSPS staff BUDGET Provide a budget that shows how the funds will be spent to support the activities. A budget of $33,600 would provide funding for 10 tutors to provide 20 hours or individualized tutoring each week. This would allow 50 DSPS students to receive 4 hours of individualized tutoring each week, although the final number might vary depending on whether each student needs more or less than the projected 4 hours, depending on their classes and their needs. A projected 50 students represent approximately 5% of the total population of DSPS students. EXPECTED OUTCOMES and EVALUATION How will you know whether or not you have achieved your goal? What measurable outcomes are you hoping to achieve for the student success indicator and target population you chose? How will you identify the students who are affected (are they part of a class, a program, or a service, or will you need to track them individually)? 1 – On the short term, if students pass the class they are being tutored in, we will know the tutoring is working. Long term effects on degrees, certificates, and transfers cannot be seen for several semesters. 2 – The outcome we hope to see is 70% of the students receiving tutoring completing their course in which the tutoring is being received. 3 – Students receiving tutoring will be based upon the recommendation of their counselor.

As indicated through the data our numbers went down In the semester after our first retiree. As the result of the retirement of our LD Specialist in 2015it was necessary for a DSPS counselor teach all 6 sections of our ENGL 116. As a result the counselor had to reduce her critically needed counseling hours. With 2 full time LD Specialists the program will once again become strong and stable to meet the individual needs of our students. 2b. Librarian and Counselor faculty ratio.

DSPS Learning Skills classes are capped at 20, except for ENGL 116 which is at 15. The class size is crucial because the classes are taught to meet the individual needs of the students. LD Specialist, Criteria 4. Current instructional gaps and program service needs. List the courses to fill the gaps, if applicable. It was necessary for DSPS Learning Skills to cancel several courses: ENGL. 119 in the evening, and ENGL 120.Also we changed the time offerings of several courses which conflicted with other DSPS PSCN and CAS courses, which these classes low enrolled. LD Specialist, Criteria 5. Describe how courses and/or services in this discipline meet PRBC’s three tier criteria. These include: Tier 1: outside mandates (e.g. to ensure the licensure of the program.) Tier 2: program health, (e.g. addresses gaps in faculty expertise and creates pathways, alleviates bottlenecks, helps units where faculty have made large commitments outside the classroom to develop/implement initiatives that support the strategic plan goal, and helps move an already successful initiative forward. Tier 3: Student need/equity, (e.g. addresses unmet needs as measured by unmet/backlogged advising needs, bottlenecks in GE areas and basic skills, impacted majors in which students cannot begin or continue their pathway.) Tier 1: An LD Specialist must have Certification from the CC Chancellor’s Office, or they are unable to assess students for eligibility for LD services. In DSPS Learning Skill courses students are instructed by this Specialist on their strengths & weaknesses manifested by their disability and how to use compensatory strategies to support them with learning. The students are them better prepared to request their mandated accommodations. Tier 2: DSPS LD Specialist have the important role of training other faculty in all disciplines how students with disabilities learn best. Their expertise is crucial for the college. Tier 3: Without the expertise of a Learning Disability Specialist we would not be able to offer the number of essential courses to meet the needs of our students. The students would be at a great disadvantage; they would not be successful in their college level courses. The LD Specialist is a direct link connecting students with learning disabilities to college success. Thus the students have equal access to an education. LD Specialist, Criteria 6. Upon justification the college may be granted a faculty position to start a new program or to enhance an existing one. Is this a new program or is it designed to enhance an existing program? Please explain. The LD Specialist will enhance our existing DSPS Learning Skills program: This position will insure that DSPS Learning Skills will maintain our course offerings and be in a better position to enhance our offerings. The enhancement may include cognitive learning courses to meet the needs of the students with disabilities. We would be in a better to examine our evening course offerings to better serve evening students. Previously we offered ENGL 117 in the evening. LD Specialist, Criteria 7. CTE Program Impact. LD Specialist, Criteria 8. Degree/Transfer Impact (if applicable) List the Certificates and/or AA degrees that your discipline/program offers. Provide information about the number of degrees awarded in the last three years. Degree/Certificate # Awarded 2012-2012 2012-2013 2013-2014 AA requirement GE transfer requirement Declared major LD Specialist, Criteria 9. Describe how courses and/or services in this discipline impact other disciplines and programs. Be brief and specific. Use your program review to complete this section. DSPS Learning Skill courses provide students with disabilities the needed foundation to be successful in English, Math, and all other disciplines, thus supporting them in achieving their educational goals of earning AA/AS degrees, Certificates and transferring to four year colleges. LD Specialist, Criteria 10. Additional justification e.g. availability of part time faculty (day/evening) Please describe any additional criteria you wish to have considered in your request. It is extremely difficult to hire a part time LD Specialist with the required Chancellor’s Certification. Our goal is to be in a better position to offer ENGL. 118A and 118B in the evening in addition to maintaining ENGL. 119. Currently we are not in a position to consider this, since we are having difficulty maintaining our day course offerings. DSPS Data for request 2 of 3, DSPS Counselor DSPS Counselor, Criteria 1.

DSPS currently serves 1000 students, it is required that each student meet with a DSPS Counselor to receive services. It is necessary for DSPS to schedule 1 hour counseling appointments in order to fill out all the required forms and determine the student’s disability. This is where the expertise of a designated DSPS Counselor is necessary to determine the educational limitation manifested by the student’s disability and then determine with the student the mandated accommodations they are eligible for. For many students this is an ongoing process as the student enrolls in higher level courses. It is evident that this process must be done by a DSPS Counselor and not a Counselor in General Counseling. DSPS Counseling supports the student with their successful completion of courses and earning degrees. With 3 Full time DSPS Counselors we can better serve students; but each counselor would have about 330 students to serve. With an additional DSPS Counselor we can better maintain our PSCN course offerings as well as augmenting them. 2b. Librarian and Counselor faculty ratio. Divide head count by the number of full time faculty. For example, 8000 students divided by 3 full time faculty, 1:2666 Fall 2012 Spring 2013 DSPS Counselor, Criteria 3.

As shown by the counseling time consuming process for students with disabilities, PSCN 901-904 are critical courses. It is recommended that these have a cap at 10. At times the instructor has enrolled 15 students but more is not advisable. DSPS Counselor, Criteria 4. Current instructional gaps and program service needs. List the courses to fill the gaps, if applicable. With an additional DSPS Counselor we would be in a better position to offer DSPS students more PSCN courses: PSCN 10, 12, or 15. DSPS Counselor, Criteria 5. Describe how courses and/or services in this discipline meet PRBC’s three tier criteria. These include: Tier 1: outside mandates (e.g. to ensure the licensure of the program.) Tier 2: program health, (e.g. addresses gaps in faculty expertise and creates pathways, alleviates bottlenecks, helps units where faculty have made large commitments outside the classroom to develop/implement initiatives that support the strategic plan goal, and helps move an already successful initiative forward. Tier 3: Student need/equity, (e.g. addresses unmet needs as measured by unmet/backlogged advising needs, bottlenecks in GE areas and basic skills, impacted majors in which students cannot begin or continue their pathway.) Tier 1: Students with disabilities are mandated by Federal Rehabilitation Act-PL 504/508, ADA) and state laws (Title V) to receive the reasonable accommodations they are eligible for upon their request. Without this position the college will not be able to insure that all eligible students will be seen by a DSPS Counselor, thus not being in a position to request their mandated accommodations. Tier 2: All disciplines and administration rely on the expertise of the DSPS Counselor for disability related advise pertaining to a student’s needs and understanding of the their disability. As a result with a DSPS Counselor, the DSRC would be in a better position to address these needs; without this position we would not be able to provide this critical need. Tier 3: In order for students with disabilities to be successful in college, it is crucial that they are provided with the opportunity to meet with a DSPS Counselor. The Student with a disability will have their needs met by: receiving their mandated accommodations, writing their SEP (with their disability being considered), Selecting the appropriate courses (despite their EPT or MPT scores, depending on their disabilities), registration (selecting courses that meet their medication time needs), receiving academic, personal and crisis counseling. With the expertise of the DSPS Counselor a student with a disability will have their mandated accommodations, and total academic and personal counseling to support them with their college success by insuring they have an equal opportunity to achieve their educational goals. DSPS Counselor, Criteria 6. Upon justification the college may be granted a faculty position to start a new program or to enhance an existing one. Is this a new program or is it designed to enhance an existing program? Please explain. The DSPS Counselor position would enhance our existing program: By increasing the number of DSPS counseling appointments. This would provide the needed services for students who are unable to get schedule counseling appointments, thus we will be able to serve more students with disabilities. By providing more mandated accommodations for students with disabilities who would have the opportunity to meet with a DSPS Counselor. By allowing DSPS to enhance our successful Out Reach Program by providing the opportunity for more counselor involvement; more structured presentations to the perspective students. By providing the DSPS Counselors to do more trainings on disability related subjects. Thus, providing the Counselor/Coordinator or Director time to attend Academic Services Division Meetings. By providing the DSPS staff the time needed to have Disability Awareness Day, “Hands Across Chabot-Dare To Be Aware”. This has been extremely difficult to put this event on due to the limits to our counseling time available. DSPS Counselor, Criteria 7. CTE Program Impact. The DSPS Counselor provides the needed support for students with disabilities to assist them with achieving their education goals of earning Certificates, AA/AS degrees and transferring to four year colleges. DSPS Counselor, Criteria 8. Degree/Transfer Impact (if applicable) List the Certificates and/or AA degrees that your discipline/program offers. Provide information about the number of degrees awarded in the last three years. Degree/Certificate # Awarded 2012-2012 AA requirement GE transfer requirement Declared major PSCN 20 2012-2013 2013-2014 DSPS Counselor, Criteria 9. Describe how courses and/or services in this discipline impact other disciplines and programs. Be brief and specific. Use your program review to complete this section. The DSPS Counselor supports students with disability in all discipline areas by determining the reasonable accommodations they are eligible for and advising them to the appropriate classes. . As a result the students are more successful in their classes, thus increasing the success rates of the divisions. DSPS Counselor, Criteria 10. Additional justification e.g. availability of part time faculty (day/evening) Please describe any additional criteria you wish to have considered in your request. Students with disabilities are better served by permanent full time DSPS Counselors who are more available in the DSRC. In this way when the student has a disability related issue in a class, it can be resolved with their counselor. Since part time DSPS Counselors are only available on certain days or evenings the student may have to wait until their counselor is available or meet with another DSPS Counselor that they are not familiar with. A Full time DSPS Counselor insures stability for the students. At times we have had to advise a student having difficulties with their accommodations to see a full time DSPS Counselor to insure their mandated needs are met. The DSPS Counselor position is necessary since a DSPS Counselor will be retiring after the Spring 2016 semester.

DSPS CAS course offerings have been taught by a part time instructor and the full time Counselor/Coordinator/Instructor; these courses greatly need a full time Assistive Technology Instructor to teach all of the courses. DSPS has not had this position since December, 2009. There are so many innovations and equipment to assist students with disabilities, for example there are one handed keyboards, head mice, etc. Without a full time instructor there is little time to attend conferences, trainings and doing research. A full time DSPS Assistive Technology Instructor would be in a position to provide consistent instruction for DSPS students by teaching them in all courses. Students with disabilities will be better served with the expertise of a full time Assistive Technology Instructor, thus being more successful in their CAS courses. Since many students need more individual instruction. 2b. Librarian and Counselor faculty ratio. Divide head count by the number of full time faculty. For example, 8000 students divided by 3 full time faculty, 1:2666 Fall 2012 Spring 2013 Fall 2013 Assistive Technology Instructor Criteria 3. WSCH Spring 2014 Fall 2014 Meets established class size.

CAS 100, 101, & 103 are capped at 24 students. CAS 102 is capped at 30 students. With the expertise of a full time Assistive Technology Instructor, DSPS will be able to determine the appropriate class capacity for each course. In Fall, 2015 we are experiencing low enrollment in these courses due to the change in the time offerings of DSPS Learning Skills courses; causing conflicts and over laps. Assistive Technology Instructor Criteria 4. Current instructional gaps and program service needs. List the courses to fill the gaps, if applicable. The DSPS Counselor/Coordinator began teaching CAS 102 and 103 so DSPS would not loose these courses, since an Assistive Technology Instructor could not be found to teach the courses and the Coordinator had the expertise. We have been desperately trying to maintain these courses. Assistive Technology Instructor Criteria 5. Describe how courses and/or services in this discipline meet PRBC’s three tier criteria. These include: Tier 1: outside mandates (e.g. to ensure the licensure of the program.) Tier 2: program health, (e.g. addresses gaps in faculty expertise and creates pathways, alleviates bottlenecks, helps units where faculty have made large commitments outside the classroom to develop/implement initiatives that support the strategic plan goal, and helps move an already successful initiative forward. Tier 3: Student need/equity, (e.g. addresses unmet needs as measured by unmet/backlogged advising needs, bottlenecks in GE areas and basic skills, impacted majors in which students cannot begin or continue their pathway.) Tier 1: The college is mandated to purchase expensive assistive technology and equipment by State and Federal law. Unfortunately students with disabilities do not have the knowledge of all the applications of the software and hardware. Thus, it is essential that DSPS continues to offer these CAS courses on a regular basis by hiring a Full time Assistive Technology Instructor. In this way DSPS students will have the knowledge of the assistive technology to assist them in successful completion of their courses. Tier 2: The DSPS CAS courses were advocated for by the then CIS faculty who expressed their limited expertise when instructing students with physical and learning disabilities. Their concern also dealt with the necessity for students with disabilities requiring more individualized instruction at a slower pace. As a result of this need we developed the DSPS CAS courses. It is essential to continue to offer DSPS CAS courses due to the increasing number of “Wounded Warriors” entering college with the loss of the use of their arms, and having traumatic brain injuries. Tier 3: With the hiring of a full time Assistive Technology Instructor students with a disability will have equal opportunities to achieve their educational goals through the appropriate use of all the assistive technology applications. Without this knowledge Students with disabilities will be at a disadvantage. Assistive Technology Instructor Criteria 6. Upon justification the college may be granted a faculty position to start a new program or to enhance an existing one. Is this a new program or is it designed to enhance an existing program? Please explain. With the hiring of an Assistive Technology Instructor our existing CAS program will be greatly enhanced: DSPS students will be taught by an instructor that has the expertise of the best teaching techniques to support students with severe upper body limitations. This Instructor will have the time to do research on the latest assistive technology and equipment available to students with disabilities. This Instructor will be provided the time to attend the conferences pertaining specifically to technology for students with disabilities. This Instructor will provide advice to other faculty and staff on campus when questions or concerns arise. Assistive Technology Instructor Criteria 7. CTE Program Impact. AT Instructor Criteria 8. Degree/Transfer Impact (if applicable) List the Certificates and/or AA degrees that your discipline/program offers. Provide information about the number of degrees awarded in the last three years. Degree/Certificate # Awarded 2012-2012 AA requirement GE transfer requirement Declared major 2012-2013 2013-2014 Assistive Technology Instructor Criteria 9. Describe how courses and/or services in this discipline impact other disciplines and programs. Be brief and specific. Use your program review to complete this section. As mentioned the DSPS CAS program was developed at the recommendation of other college technology instructors who were having difficultly teaching students with physical and learning disabilities because they did not have the expertise. As a result, with the strong foundation of DSPS CAS courses, Students have gone on to earn AA/AS degrees and Certificates in Computer Application Systems. Some of DSPS students have difficulty with online presentation of computer courses; they have been provided with course substitutions for CAS 72A, B, & C with CAS 100, “Adapted Keyboarding” or CAS 88A with CAS 101, “Adapted Word”. After taking the DSPS courses students have the technical knowledge required to be successful in college level courses when doing papers and research. Assistive Technology Instructor Criteria 10. Additional justification e.g. availability of part time faculty (day/evening) Please describe any additional criteria you wish to have considered in your request. A full time Assistive Technology Instructor would provide stability to the DSPS CAS program. There is always a concern when a program is consistently taught by part time instructors that courses may be cancelled. Many of our DSPS students entering Chabot College have little or no computer skills. The majority of previous IEP students have no knowledge of the assistive technology available to them and how it will benefit them in college. This is very surprising since technology has become a way of life today. We feel this is due in part to the economic standing of our students, where the technology is too expensive. Also, their parents may use technology. For these reasons, the continuation of these courses is imperative, thus the hiring of a full time Assistive Technology Instructor will continuity to the DSPS CAS program area. This semester )Fall, 2015) some of DSPS CAS courses are low enrolled due to the need to change the DSPS Learning Skills course times, which has caused conflicts and over laps with CAS and PSCN courses. In the future ever effort must be made to keep this at a minimum. Appendix F1B: Reassign Time Request(s) [Acct.

If these positions are categorically funded, include and designate the funding source of new categorically-funded positions where continuation is contingent upon available funding. Rationale for proposed student assistant positions: Categorical funded But may need to be funded in part by College Effort. The volume of students with disabilities served through the DSRC necessitates the use of student assistants to help facilitate timely service and fulfillment of necessary accommodations. Without said students, the DSRC would not be able to function. (Classroom) Student Assistants are needed to assist DSPS faculty in their classes. Since the curriculum is very individualized it is essential that student assistants are there to help maintain this teaching approach. (Hi-Tech) Student Assistants are scheduled to work each hour the Hi-tech Center is open to assist students with disabilities with technical support while they are working on assignments, accessing Blackboard, etc. Student Assistants (Office) To ease the hectic atmosphere in the DSRC front area, it is necessary that the DSRC hire students to work at the front desk. Many students come to the front desk asking questions, seeking immediate assistance, needing to make appointments, leaving messages, etc. The Office Student Assistants will have the opportunity to learn appropriate front desk and phone etiquette with the DSRC Counselor Assistant I. Student Assistants (Accommodations) Student Assistants work as scribes, readers, shared note takers, support with speech interpretation, test proctors, etc. Student Assistants are the back bone of our operations. We have constantly utilized Chabot College students to assist with providing accommodations to students with disabilities. *Student Assistants cannot be prioritized—they are a must. Student Assistants: To rehire student assistants as receptionists, high-tech lab assistants, and support service assistants is crucial to DSPS. It has been our philosophy to hire students with disabilities in the DSPS program areas in order to fulfill needed work experience while providing the required accommodations to students with disabilities. These students become role models for our new incoming students. How do the assessments that you performed to measure student learning outcomes (SLO’s) or service area outcomes (SAO’s) support this request? The DSPS Students Assistants directly help to meet the program’s SAOs by providing accommodations to students which turn into contacts. During EPT and MPT exams students that require readers or scribes, thus helping the program meet the assessment component of SSSP. Office Students Assistants input the mobility service contacts. DSPS Student Assistants work during the DSPS Orientation and the Hi-Tech Lab Student Assistants help students with locating the college Online Orientation.

The DSRC is in need of 26 guest chairs for the entry area and in the general study area combined. The current chairs are so rickety that they have fallen apart when a student goes to sit in them. Also many of the current chairs have arms and many students are not able to sit in them. The chairs are very stained from many years of use, as well as students occasionally becoming ill around them, and as they are covered in cloth, they are unable to be fully cleaned. If the current chairs were replaced, the staff would not worry when students sit in them. Also students are reluctant to utilize the study area due to not being able to sit in them or are concerned they will fall apart. With new chairs, we will make certain that they are easily cleaned, sturdy, and of a larger size so that students can use the general study area without fear. Having a good place to study has a very positive correlation with academic success. The mouse pads will assist students in using the computers as a specialized surface greatly increases the usability of a mouse, thus helping them do their study, homework, and papers. Frustration with non-effective mousing can cause great frustration for anyone, but especially for students with disabilities. A digital message board, like those installed in other locations on campus, will greatly assist the DSRC students in getting information about what is going on around campus, thus giving them greater access and participation in campus life, as well as quick access to any emergency notifications that might be sent out via the message boards.

Category 5000] Audience: Staff Development Committee, Administrators, Budget Committee, PRBC Purpose: To request funding for contracts & services and conference attendance, and to guide the Budget and Staff Development Committees in allocation of funds. Instructions: Please list contracts and services. For conferences/training programs, including specific information on the name of the conference and location. Your rationale should discuss student learning goals and/or connection to the Strategic Plan goal. Rationale for Contracts and Services: DSPS is mandated to provide reasonable academic accommodations for students that are Deaf/Hard of Hearing. As a result DSPS utilizes Independent Contractors to meet the need. The contractors provide Sign Language Interpreters, Tactile Interpreters, Real Time Captioners and Remote Captioners. It is very difficult to determine the funding required since it is based upon students requests, the number of classes the students are enrolled in and the type of classes they are enrolled in. As part of the DSPS allocation we are given DHH Funding; the college is required to fund ¼% of the amount given and this funding is used to pay over the money funded by the state. DSPS does not know how much funding they will receive each year. Rationale for Conferences and Travel: California Association Of Post-Secondary Education and the Disabled, (CAPED) Conference- This conference will be held in Monterey. Since the conference is relatively close, the travel costs will be at a minimum. This conference provides needed information pertaining on the State regulations and program requirements which will be changing and put in effect in the Fall, 2016. Cost: $12,000.00 New Directors Training for DSPS –Since the DSPS Counselor/Coordinator will be retiring at the end of the Spring, 2016 semester, it is critical that the new Director or Counselor/Coordinator attend. This training is usually held in Sacramento. 96 How do the assessments that you performed to measure student learning outcomes (SLO’s) or service area outcomes (SAO’s) support these requests? The CAPED Conference and The New Directors Training will explain how students with a disability fit in the SSSP component areas. Also new regulations in relation to the number of contacts required to count this student in the DSPS unduplicated DSPS Funding List. The conference provides the requirements for assessing for eligibility of LD Services for LD Specialists, provides tips on maintaining DSPS students’ retention and success rates in their classes, as well as innovations in assistive technology.

Instructions: Please follow the link here to make your request and summarize below http://intranet.clpccd.cc.ca.us/technologyrequest/default.htm Summary of request and rationale: 1. 10 new computer stations: With the renovation to the DSRC, for a larger, safer, ADAcompliant, non-distraction testing area the DSRC requires 10 computer stations (dependent on DSRC remodel/relocation) 2. 5 Dual monitor stands and 10 22” computer monitors: For increased efficiency and effectiveness in serving students, the staff and counselors request dual monitors for their work stations. DSPS funding cannot be used for staff equipment. 3. One 24” monitor for Alternate Media Production work center: Work station currently has one 24” monitor and one smaller monitor, which is not efficient or effective. 4. 10 ergonomic mice with forward/back buttons: For increased efficiency and effectiveness in serving students, the staff and counselors request more efficient mice. 5. One 3D printer and related production plastic spools: To assist blind and low vision students in classes with very visual elements of learning, a 3D printer is requested to be able to create 3-dimensional models of cellular structures and related teaching examples that are difficult to represent with two-dimensional Braille images.

Background: Although some of the college's greatest needs involving new facilities cannot be met with the limited amount of funding left from Measure B, smaller pressing needs can be addressed. Projects that can be legally funded with bond dollars include the "repairing, constructing, acquiring, and equipping of classrooms, labs, sites and facilities." In addition to approving the funding of projects, the FC participates in addressing space needs on campus, catalogs repair concerns, and documents larger facilities needs that might be included in future bond measures. Do NOT use this form for equipment or supply requests. Instructions: Please fill in the following as needed to justify your requests .If requesting more than one facilities project, please rank order your requests. Brief Title of Request (Project Name): Renovation of the DSRC for an enlarged testing area or relocation of the DSRC. Building/Location: 2400 Type of Request ___ Space Need _X_ Building Concern ___ Small Repair _X_ Larger Facility Need _X_ Large Repair ___ Other (grounds, signage…) Description of the facility or grounds project. Please be as specific as possible. (Project 1) In order to serve our students with their increasing requests for use of Kurzweil 3000, 1000, Dragon Premium and JAWS during their tests, more testing space and more computer stations are imperative. We have long out grown our Testing Lab with room for 8 students which includes 3 computer stations. Due to the limited testing space with assistive technology, it is necessary for students to be tested in our small High Tech Center and in the DSRC general area. Both of these areas are not Title V, PL 504 and ADA compliant because they are not distraction free environments since classes are in session at the same time. As mentioned previously our Testing Lab is not safe for students with physical disabilities in case of an emergency evacuation would be extremely difficult. Also, in case of a student having a seizure or falling they could be injured or injure other students due to the small area. Therefore, the DSRC must be renovated or the entire DSRC be moved. What educational programs or institutional purposes does this request support and with whom are you collaborating? This project supports all disciplines and program areas across the college campus. DSPS provides academic accommodations to students with disabilities enrolled in classes in all divisions and programs across the campus. If the DSRC is unable to appropriately support students with disabilities, the responsibility would fall to faculty, staff, and administrators throughout the campus to provide the accommodations. 99 This pro Briefly describe how your request supports the Strategic Plan Goal? With an increased Testing Lab, more students will be provided with appropriate mandated alternative testing accommodations in a distraction free environment. Thus students with disabilities will become more successful in their classes and achieve their educational goals of earning Certificates, AA/AS degrees and transferring to four-year colleges. 100
