Goals and Objectives
DS provides essential services to students with
disabilities, and education to staff and faculty in order to ensure Lane's
legal compliance. A positive outcome of these efforts is increased success and
retention of students with disabilities. Objectives include:
- Determine students' eligibility for DS services.
- Determine, develop, provide, and support the
availability of accommodations to create equal access and/or opportunities for
those with disabilities in order for them to participate in Lane's programs and
activities.
- Educate and advise faculty/staff about disability issues
(confidentiality, retention strategies, problem-solving ideas, legal
compliance, liability, legal trends and interpretations).
- Promote students' understanding and awareness of
disability issues, legal rights, self-advocacy, survival techniques for college
success.
- Provide intervention and encourage students to solve
problems before they result in complaints, increased symptoms,
drop-out/failure.
- Facilitate problem-solving meetings with faculty, staff
and students.
- Investigate Lane's adaptive technology (AT) needs for
adequate legal compliance student success; consult with and educate departments
about AT; conduct research (cost, effectiveness, practicality, necessity);
provide tech support for AT needs on Lane's campuses and outreach
centers.
- Respond to community inquiries about DS services,
including those from students transitioning from high school.
- Collaborate with community agencies (e.g. Voc. Rehab.,
DD, Lane County Mental Health, SSD, Commission for the Blind, Direction
Services, etc.) regarding joint clients/students in order to coordinate
services smoothly.
