4/4 Clr Process The purpose of the Special Resource Center (SRC) is to facilitate academic success for students with disabilities by providing equal access to educational opportunities in an integrated campus setting and to appreciate that each student brings a unique set of experiences to the college community. Services are provided to students with disabilities who self-identify. Disabilities can include impairments in mobility, vision, hearing and speech, learning disabilities, psychological disorders and developmental disabilities. Students who experience other functional limitations as a result of acquired brain injury or health problems such as arthritis, diabetes, seizure disorders, HIV related impairments or others qualify for services. There are many support services, and various specialized devices, to facilitate the process of reasonable classroom accommodations for students with verified medical disabilities.
