The Special Needs Grant Program
The special needs Grant Program originated with the Higher Education Services for Auditorily Impaired and Learning disabled students Act in 1986.
http://www.nj.gov/highereducation/sn.htm

Extractions: Promoting Excellence for All An Overview The Special Needs Grant Program originated with the "Higher Education Services for Visually Impaired, Auditorily Impaired and Learning Disabled Students Act" in 1986. The Act established a program to facilitate the provision of support services for special needs students. For FY 2005 a total of $1,100,000 was appropriated for this grant program. Currently there are eight centers located throughout the state providing direct assistance to auditorily impaired, visually impaired, and learning disabled students. The goal of the centers is to provide integrated, individualized, direct services to students and technical assistance to other colleges and universities in the state. The Center for Collegiate Deaf Education at Bergen Community College and the Mid-Atlantic Postsecondary Center for Deaf and Hard of Hearing at Camden County College specialize in assisting students with hearing impairments. There are five regional centers that assist students with learning disabilities:

In response to these identified needs we'll endeavour to provide all reasonable support and facilities and to develop strategies that maximise the potential for every student to succeed. We encourage you to contact the Student Welfare Officer to discuss your special needs if you have a disability or learning difficulty that you think may affect your decision about applying for or taking up a place at Ravensbourne.

Extractions: HOME RESOURCES LINK 3 CONTENTS The Special Educational Needs and Disability Act 2001 Provided by Skill: National Bureau for Students with Disabilities On 11 May 2001, the Special Educational Needs and Disability Bill became an Act finally introducing legal rights for disabled students. This new legislation is an extension of the Disability Discrimination Act 1995 (DDA) and is likely to affect all those working within the education field. Below, Skill: National Bureau for Students with Disabilities explains the main provisions of the Act and their likely consequences for post-16 education with particular reference to those working in hospitality, leisure, sport and tourism. What does the Act cover? The responsible bodies covered by the Act are: Further and higher education institutions including sixth form colleges. All education authorities or local education authorities when they secure further, adult or community education including youth services (but not voluntary sector youth organisations). Specialist residential colleges for disabled people (the Department for Education and Skills has provided a list of the colleges in question in draft regulations).

Extractions: Powered by Google The University of Wisconsin System provides full and equal educational opportunities to all students. All students are entitled to an accessible, accommodating, and supportive teaching and learning environment. Each two year Colleges campus , and each baccalaureate campus has a contact person who can answer questions and provide information about the programs and services available at that institution. In 1988, the University of Wisconsin System Board of Regents passed a non-discrimination policy mandating that students with special needs will receive the accommodations necessary to have equal access to educational opportunities and programs in the integrated campus setting. All of the System campuses provide a variety of services for students with special needs based on the individual student's needs, such as taped textbooks, alternative testing, classroom notetakers, priority registration, accessible parking, readers, equipment loan, and advising. Two campuses also offer specialized programs for students with learning disabilities. Project Success at University of Wisconsin-Oshkosh is a successful academic and social remediation program for students with learning disabilities. The intent is that participants will become educationally independent in and across these major educational areas: mathematics, spelling, reading, writing, comprehension, and study skills. Those interested should apply at least two to three years prior to desired entrance. However, this should not deter applicants. Once accepted, the student must be willing to register for participation in the summer term prior to the fall semester of their first academic year at University of Wisconsin-Oshkosh. There are no fees for the services.

Extractions: Applications from people with disabilities will be considered against the same criteria as those from people without a disability applying for the same programme. Full consideration of the specific support facilities required will take place and the College will make every effort to effect reasonable adjustments in order to enable applicants to join the programme of their choice. Staff have been given guidelines to assist them in responding to applications from people who have a disability, and in giving advice to applicants with specific needs arising out of a disability. We therefore urge all applicants with special needs to identify their individual requirements as early as possible in the application process by ticking the relevant section of the application form, or by contacting the relevant member of staff (see list of contacts in Appendix 1).

Extractions: More options Back issues Home News ... Advertise with us From the issue dated August 6, 1999 By WENDY M. WILLIAMS and STEPHEN J. CECI Recently, one of us proctored a final examination for a class of 102 undergraduates at Cornell University. ALSO SEE: Colloquy: Join the authors of this article in an on-line debate on these issues Three of the students took the exam down the hall from the rest of the class: One of them required a private room, and the other two shared another room. Both extra rooms had their own proctors, who administered a special version of the test and answered the students' questions about the definitions of words and the meaning of questions. The three students also had extra time to complete the exam, ranging from one and a half to two and a half times as long as for the rest of the class. Many colleges and universities pressure faculty members to make such accommodations to help students who have been diagnosed with learning disabilities, and who are thus legally eligible for special treatment. In large, introductory lecture courses at Cornell, learning-disabled students make up at least 2 per cent of many classes that is, six or more students out of 300. The requirements place an unfair burden on professors and may penalize students who do not have special needs, or who have learning disabilities that haven't been diagnosed. Professors are often faced with developing and administering multiple versions of tests for students with various disabilities. While the majority of students in the class take one version in one room, those with special needs may require one or more separate rooms, in which the test can be read aloud, or in which a proctor can answer questions about terms used in the test. Some learning-disabled students may also be allowed to consult extra materials, such as class notes and reference works. Usually, faculty members must arrange on their own to have teaching assistants proctor those special versions. If a professor has no teaching assistants, or if they are unavailable, the professor must give the test to the students with special needs at a separate time and location. That can be difficult to arrange, especially when some students can take 250 per cent of the usual time to complete the exam five hours, if the rest of the class gets two hours.

Extractions: « A joke Main Little research backs math programs » If Levi Meir Levi (also known as Levi Clancy) had stayed in public school, the taxpayers would be paying $7,000 or more a year for his education. Instead, diagnosed as "profoundly gifted," he left at the age of 7 to start college. Now 14, Levi is a junior pre-med at UCLA, where he works as a math tutor. He hopes to become a cancer researcher. He and his single mother, a part-time public school art teacher, are sueing the school district, claiming that his education costs should be covered, just as the district would have to pay for a disabled child who couldn't be taught adequately in a normal school. I think she's got a case. The complaint filed with a California superior court in Sacramento points to the state's compulsory-education law requiring "a free and equal education" for all minors until age 18. . . . The complaint says the taxpayer-funded public-school system owed Miss Levi and her son other school options and should have paid for his college costs under state law, or at least paid as much as the public-school district's yearly per-pupil expenditure. . . . "[Levi] Clancy has a fundamental constitutional interest in receiving an education that is non-discriminatory and provides for his individualized needs," the complaint states. "UCLA is capable of providing the education for him. However, neither he nor his mother can afford to pay for this education."

Extractions: Learning Disabilities Many colleges and universities offer programs and services to meet the special needs of students with identified physical or cognitive disabilities. These programs include academic advising, tutorial support, special accommodations, etc. which may be necessary for students to function adequately in classes. Applying to College as a Student with Learning Disabilities Colleges often encourage prospective students to submit their IEP's (Individual Educational Plans), and the cognitive assessments on which their IEP is based, along with their application. Students on IEP's should begin to work with their special education case manager and their counselor during their junior year to determine testing and other information that they may want to have ready to send to colleges. Testing to document the disability must be done within three years of graduation. Students with documented hearing, learning, physical, or visual disabilities which might impact on their performance on college entrance exams can request special accommodations for these exams. These accommodations, which are available to eligible students only, can include additional time to take the tests, large type test booklets and answer sheets, a sign-language interpreter, a reader, etc. Eligibility guidelines are available from the CCHS Special Education Department. In order to qualify for college entrance testing modifications, a student needs to be on an IEP or 504 Plan and must also be currently receiving those modifications in school. Scores from a modified test administration are identified to colleges as "nonstandard testing."
