By law, SPC is required to provide reasonable accommodations for students with documented disabilities.  The Office of Services for Students with Disabilities (OSSD) is the central place on your campus for the review of documentation and approval of accommodations. 

This website has been created to provide faculty and staff a wealth of information on ways you can better assist students with disabilities.  As you search the site, you will find workshops dealing with disabilities that provide you with insights into your students and strategies that will enhance learning for all; an opportunity to ask a question directly to a Learning Specialist; SPC's Faculty Guide: Reasonable Accommodations for Students with Disabilities; and links to informative websites such as organizations that focus on specific disabilities; legal issues, etc.

Explore the workshops available to you on this website. You can learn the basics of the Americans with Disabilities Act; how to recognize and adapt your teaching for a student with a hidden disability; strategies for working with students with learning disabilities; and how Assistive Technology works. These workshops are designed as a Prototype Online course and provide you with several approaches to learning by the click of your mouse.

Use the “Ask the Learning Specialist” link on this website if you have questions – you will receive an answer within 72 hours.

If you have any questions about the website, contact Peg Connell at 727-341-3398 or connell.peg@spcollege.edu

We hope you will visit the website often and take advantage of the information.
