Gregory, Martha Wille, Ed.
This training module was developed to introduce postsecondary personnel to the support services available for students with disabilities at Southwest Missouri State University. The module covers the definition and philosophy of support services, including the development of rehabilitation services, independent living, and the disability rights movement. It offers statistics on the percentage of full-time freshmen with disabilities and types of disabilities. It describes campus services for students with disabilities, including adaptive testing and auxiliary aids, priority registration, the Organization on Disability Issues and Awareness, accessibility, parking, physical education, housing, and the Learning Diagnostic Clinic. The module also describes outside resources, such as AHEAD (Association on Higher Education and Disability) and the HEATH Resource Center, and community services, including home health services, independent living, financial assistance, reading and referral services, interpreters, self-help and support services, transportation, and national toll free hotlines. The module contains handouts and overheads used to enhance important points. Handouts include a list of functions of disability service programs, descriptions of disability support services at Southwest Missouri State University, descriptions of community resources, and campus facility accessibility information.
