  • ABOUT SSD

Student and Teacher at School

The SSD program provides support services, 专业的指导, and educational accommodations to students with disabilities so that they can participate as fully and benefit as equitably from the college experience as their non-disabled peers. A Student Educational Contract (SEC) is developed for each student which links that student’s goals, 课程计划, and academic accommodations to his/her specific disability-related educational limitation.

SSD supports the participation of students with disabilities in educational activities consistent with the mission of the California Community Colleges, 联邦和州法律, 及劳委会政策(Administrative Regulation E-100).

SSD services, 特殊指令, and accommodations function to provide students with disabilities equal opportunities to successfully complete their educational goals. It is the mission of SSD to promote the maximum independence and integration of students with disabilities.

Students with verified disabilities:

  • Learning                 
  • Medical
  • Physical
  • 心理

 

合格标准

In order to receive disability-related services at Los Angeles Valley College, a student must submit a Disability Verification Form, documenting a physical and/or psychological disability. The form must be completed and signed by a licensed/certified professional qualified to diagnose and treat the conditions. The form can be accessed through this link: disability-verification-packet-form.pdf (qp0554.com). 请填写 学生信息 section of the form and have your medical professional complete the rest.

Students that had an IEP (Individualized Education Program) in high school, may provide a copy of their IEP as a verification of disability. Please note that students that had an IEP under OHI (Other Health Impairments) and ED (Emotional Disturbance) categories, must provide additional documentation verifying the diagnosis.

适应性体育

Students who can benefit from progressive physical conditioning exercise can enroll in adapted physical education classes to improve their fitness levels. Under the supervision of an adapted physical education instructor, the individual is encouraged to maximize their physical potential within the limitations of their disability. An individualized physical education plan is developed through an interactive process that includes the student, instructor, and medical recommendations supplied by the student’s physician. Students are responsible for securing attendant services appropriate to their personal needs. 欲了解更多信息，请致电 (818) 778-5638.
