Rationale
The funding requested, allowed us
to follow required state
assessment guidelines to
determine eligibility for learning
disability services and provide
legally mandated accommodations
for students with disabilities. This
funding helped us to meet our
desired goal of supporting DSPS
students with mandated
reasonable accommodations
The DSRC High Tech Center are
still using scanners that are over
15 years old. The scanners are
used on a daily basis by students
with the needed assistive
technology software.

Our Counselor Assistant II needs
this assistive technology as a
means of supporting his disability.
His current CCTV does not work.

The DSRC critically requires an
additional dedicated area
specifically used for testing, with
15-20 work stations equipped with
computer 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 ADA
compliant because they are not
distraction free environments
since classes are in session at the
same time. Each semester the
DSRC provides alternative testing
for over 900 tests with more
students requesting the use of
assistive technology.
