Services for Students with Special Needs 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.

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.

Testing Students with Disabilities Back to Spotlight Issues Back to CTEST Home Introduction to the issue Official Documents regarding special needs students Special needs testing in the News Weblinks for further information Introduction to the Issues As increasing numbers of students with disabilities apply for admission to institutions of higher education, many are seeking modifications during admissions testing to accommodate for their disabilities. Many of these accommodations are granted. The most common modification is extended time for test administration, although large print versions of tests, readers for tests, and other types of accommodations are also provided. When these accommodations are granted, many of those taking the tests with modifications are unaware that the score reports for such testing usually are sent to colleges or universities with a "flag" or other designation indicating that the test was given under nonstandard conditions. This nation currently embraces important social policy goals of allowing persons with disabilities to participate as fully as possible in society without having to face negative bias or stereotypes. For too long, many individuals with disabilities have had to confront unfair presumptions about their abilities to succeed in education and employment. There are now laws in many states and two federal laws designed to prohibit discrimination against individuals with disabilities.

[an error occurred while processing this directive] Choosing a Transfer College: Students With Special Needs Accommodations for students with special needs or disabilities are quite common at many colleges. Before you choose a college, however, you might want to ask yourself the following questions. How far away from my family do I want to be? How independent am I? What are my special needs? What type of support services will be available to me? Who is the contact person at the four-year college? Keep in Mind: Your disability cannot be used to discriminate against you in the admissions process. You must seek out the people who will provide the support services that you need. Ask for the Disabled Student Services Office or the Office for Handicapped Students. Some specific questions that you might ask are: Is tutoring available if I have trouble with my classes? If I need a textbook, tests, handouts put on tapes, how do I make these arrangements? What assistance is available to me in the library? Are there elevators in all of the buildings?

Parking / Maps / Housing Making the Transition to UT The Transition: Differences Between High School and College The differences between the accommodation process in high school and college can be initially unsettling to those who are used to the secondary school environment. These differences are largely related to the distinct intentions of the laws that govern the provision of accommodations in the post-secondary and secondary settings. Some of these distinctions are detailed below; however, incoming students will find that the major theme behind them is a greater emphasis on personal responsibility and self-advocacy. While this is believed to be an important part of the developmental process for college students, it can lead to difficulties for students who are used to having the bulk of the procedures related to accommodations handled for them by someone else on their behalf. Major Differences Between High School and College The Intent of the Law The following laws govern the accommodation process in the secondary (high school) and postsecondary (college) environment.

20. The Special Educational Needs And Disability Act The special Educational needs and Disability Act was given hour at a time access to college computers Allow disabled students to use computers for examinations http://www.techdis.ac.uk/resources/skill01.html

Techdis Home Page The Special Educational Needs and Disability Act Author: Sophie Corlett, Skill Date: April 2001 The Special Educational Needs and Disability Act was given Royal Assent on 11 May, and will begin to come into effect from 1 September 2002. The Act removes the previous exemption of education from the Disability Discrimination Act (1995), ensuring that discrimination against disabled students will be unlawful. Institutions will incur additional responsibilities in 2003, with the final sections of legislation coming into effect in 2005. The legislation will apply to the UK, with the exception, at the moment, of Northern Ireland. As the Act is an amendment to the existing Disability Discrimination Act 1995 (DDA), it only protects people defined as disabled according to that legislation. This definition is based on an individual's ability to carry out 'normal day-to-day' activities, and so may exclude some students who are usually considered disabled by the support systems within their institutions. Under the new law all publicly-funded further and higher education institutions, schools with post-16 provision, and local authorities when they provide further, adult or continuing education or training will have responsibilities.
