1. State your program’s mission and its relation to the mission of the college.
Programs and services for students with disabilities ensure equal access to the educational
experience for all learners with disabilities.
2. Program Changes
Have there been any changes in your program or area since your last Program Review?
No ____ (go to next question)
Yes _X___ Describe the changes below:
DSPS Annual Update was completed in Spring 2008.
DSPS has been stable since the last program review, and the changes the program
experienced last year were routine and customary.
MENDOCINO COAST EDUCATION CENTER The resignation of the DSPS Specialist
position resulted in a reassignment and reclassification of the DSPS Instructional Support
Specialist II. Effective Fall 2008, special classes of Guidance 343 and 345 will no longer be
offered on the Mendocino Coast campus due to a 7-year steady decline in the number of
students served by DSPS. As a result of the cancellation of special classes on the Mendocino
campus, learning disability testing has been eliminated. However, in coordination with
Eureka campus, Learning Disabilities Specialist arrangements for testing may be made
available on a case by case basis.
EUREKA CAMPUS In spring 2008, CR’s pool closed, causing a cancellation of Adapted
Physical Education classes approximately 5 weeks into the spring term. The decision was
made to close the pool for the 08-09 academic year. DSPS Adapted PE Instructional Support
Specialist I was reassigned to the DSPS office as Mobility Assistant for the 08-09 academic
year due a significant reduction in the number of hours typically assigned to pool classes.
This reassignment was temporary with a commitment to reevaluate at the end of 08-09 for the
status of the pool closure.
DEL NORTE EDUCATION CENTER In Spring 2008, the DSPS Specialist at Del Norte
resigned. Upon review the position was restructured from a 40 hours per/week 12 month to a
35 hour per/week 11 month position. The new DSPS Specialist started October 2008, left the
Instructional Support Specialist in the DRC, creating not only a professional growth
opportunity for herself but also a significant staffing restructure for the DRC. After a search
- 1 -
and interview process, a new ISS II candidate was forwarded and approved by the Board of
Trustees, and will begin working at the start of the spring 2009 semester.
LEARNING DISABILITIES The retirement of a 16 year Learning Disabilities Specialist at
Eureka brought a new hire as our Learning Disabilities Specialist for fall 2008 term.
Significant training and preparation is being provided to prepare her for the Learning
Disabilities Eligibility Model Training with the Chancellor’s Office within the 08-09
academic year. The Del Norte Learning Disabilities Specialist attended the LD Eligibility
Model Training August 2008 and will successfully complete the Learning Disabilities
certification process by the end of 2008-09 academic year.
CHANCELLOR’S OFFICE MIS REPORTING In summer 2008, DSPS implemented the
new Datatel DSPS screen for MIS reporting for Spring 2008. MIS reporting and funding
changes for matriculation have increased the need to record all student information in Datatel.
Training will be required for student services staff, including DSPS, to improve the quality of
tracking student contacts to maximize the required MIS reporting elements.

Program Trends
If applicable, describe how external or internal changes are impacting your program and
describe efforts within your area to address these impacts. Include supporting data from
Institutional Research or other sources in your discussion.
Based on Chancellor’s Office Data Mart statistics, 2006-2007 students with disabilities
represented nearly 20% of the total student population at College of the Redwoods. Students
with disabilities are demographically comprised of nine major categories. California
Community Colleges Chancellor’s Office Data Mart provides the following:

Distance Education and Disability Access
- 2 -
2007-08
1,218
In 2006-2007, Disabled Students Programs and Services completed a Comprehensive
Program Review. Areas covered by the DSPS program review pertained to Distance
Education and college compliance with Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act in three
categories. District disability access compliance was also reviewed and these issues were
identified and addressed in a Technical Review of DSPS by California Community
College Chancellor’s Office in 2004-2005
Purchases
Section 508 requires that Closed Captioning of all television broadcasts and video taped
distance education course material be provided to people with hearing impairments. At
the present time, there is no mechanism in place that ensures that instructional DVDs
or videos are captioned when purchased.
Additionally, at this time CR has no purchasing process for ensuring that newly
purchased instructional equipment (e.g. computers and lab equipment) meets accessibility
legal requirements as articulated in board policy. The absence of such a process has
resulted in the purchase of tremendous amounts of bond-fund purchased equipment that
does not meet accessibility requirements.
Board Policies
CR currently has one board policy that address access to courses, BP 809 AR.
809.07:Access to Programs and Facilities The policy addresses the following:
•
•
•
Access to Facilities
Access to Programs and Courses
Access to Electronic and Information Technology
While BP 809 describes CR’s commitment to the items identified above, the policy does
not provide specific plans or procedures by which the district ensures compliance with
the regulations set forth in state and federal law. To avoid potential litigation, CR must
develop and implement operating procedures based on BP AR 809.07 that institute
accountability for compliance with state and federal regulations protecting the rights for
access of students with disabilities.
.
The proposed board policy BP 5140 DSPS is a conversion of existing BP 533 that is
required in order for CR to meet the standards set forth in Title V California Code of
Regulations, Implementing Guidelines for DSPS Section 56046 Program Plan. The
proposed revision of BP 5130 includes the addition of BP 533.01 Section E: Course
Substitution. The Board of Trustees considered BP 5140 at one of its fall meetings, but
did not vote to adopt the policy.
BP 5140 is an important CR policy that works in conjunction with BP 809 to protect the
rights of access for students with disabilities. This policy needs to be considered again by
the Board of Trustees.
- 3 -
Faculty and Staff Training
Due to the complexity of creating accessible online content, DSPS recommends that all
Distance Education staff be required to participate in training to learn how to effectively
create assessable online documents and webpages.
The training should include
• A review of the DSPS produced help document “Some Tips for Making Your
Blackboard Site More Accessible for Students with Disabilities:”
http://hightech.redwoods.edu/accessibility/blackboard.htm
• A review of the online video produced by Fresno State regarding different
disabilities and the impact of inaccessible online documents and webpages.
• Participation in the self-paced tutorial produced by Georgia Tech comprised of 10
modules that offer information, instructional techniques, and practice labs to
address the most common needs for individuals with disabilities enrolled in
distance education and enhance the usability of online materials for all students.
http://www.accesselearning.net
Distance Education Disability Access Checklist
CR needs to develop a Distance Education course list checklist in order to comply with
requirements in Section 508, board policy, and the Distance Education Guidelines,
established in 1999 by the California Community College Chancellor’s Office. The
DSPS director is currently working with CR’s Curriculum Committee Chair and the
Distance Education Coordinator to develop such a checklist for courses and an online
curriculum review process that ensures legally compliant online courses.
The use of this checklist and process, or a checklist and process appropriately modified,
should be expanded to all college online materials to ensure that CR has processes to
evaluate the college’s home page and other pages associated with it to make sure CR
complies with Priority Level I and Level II of the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines
(WCAG) and Section 508. In addition, this would ensure that individual online content
management system's pages (Blackboard), and other pages hosted on the college's
servers, meet at the minimum Priority I WCAG accessibility standards. In addition, a
review process should enforce the need for all online videos to have captions and
transcripts and all online audio podcasts to have transcripts.
4. Budget Resources
List your department’s budget for the following categories in the table below. Restricted
funds have a sponsor/grantor/donor (federal, state, local government, etc). The funds are
restricted by the sponsor/grantor/donor. Everything else (including action plans) is
unrestricted.

repair budget
Professional Development
Work-study funding
Additional Budget Items
Other (i.e. Collections)
$ 3,161
$68,450
$43,198
$36,396
Is the funding for these areas adequate?
The answer is yes and no. Disabled Student Programs and Services is a categorically-funded
program (i.e. funding that provides services and accommodations to students with disabilities
at CR comes directly from state categorical monies and is based on weighted student head
count). The funding in the line items identified above was adequate for the year 2007-2008.
Additional income in DSPS is generated by FTE’s for Special Courses offered in DSPS.
Because FTE’s in DSPS has been in slow decline during the last five years, the additional
funds generated by special course has been in decline as well. DSPS expects additional
decline in FTE’s for the 2008-09 reporting year due to the cancellation of the guidance
classes in Mendocino and the cancellation of APE swim classes in Eureka because of the pool
closure. Additional impact in FTE’s will occur as a result of the cancellation of an APE
weight class in fall 2008 due to the inability to secure a qualified instructor.
Changes in budget expenditures from year to year are based on costs of providing
accommodations to students. It is not yet known whether or not the discretionary funds for
the 2008-2009 budget in these categories are adequate. As of this date, there is not an annual
CR contribution to the annual operation of DSPS. Because the number of students served by
DSPS remains relatively constant, the DSPS annual budget does not vary significantly, but
because operational costs rise each year, continuous conservative financial planning is
required. Discussion with college leadership must begin to determine how programming in
DSPS will be required to change as a result of limitations with funding.

Do you need more full-time or part-time classified staff? If yes, explain why.
Yes. Based on student satisfaction surveys (a spring 2007 IR survey of LIGHT Center
student users indicated that 70.6% of respondents found the availability of support staff
inadaquate) and observations of daily congestion in the LIGHT Center, DSPS needs 1
additional ISS II to meet student demand. DSPS will work with The Office of
Institutional Research during spring 2009 to compile relevant data to support a position
request.

can and do change over time. Each year, you will be asked to update the QIP to make adjustments
to the plans the program enters this year.
Because this document will be used to inform planning processes, it is very important that all the
requested information be provided. The form has been designed to elicit the information needed
for this process. Each “block” on the form is for a single recommendation; thus, the
department/program should complete all the fields for each of the recommendations.
