Accessible Learning
Disability Awareness at Laurier |
|
As of April 2008, 747 students with a wide variety of disabilities were registered with the department. Some of the disabilities our students have involve hearing, sight, mobility, learning, head injuries, chronic pain, and/or medical, psychological or psychiatric conditions. In order to address to academic needs of our students, a range of services are offered including adaptive technology instruction, alternate testing arrangements, alternate format materials, volunteer programs (including the note-taking program), and tutoring contacts.
