Welcome to the Instructional Assistance Center (IAC)
It is the mission of the
IAC to provide support for students with verified disabilities pursuing a
successful college experience. We liaison between students and faculty to
assure that equal opportunity for a quality education is provided.
The IAC offers four primary
areas of service:
1. Learning Disability Assessment –
When a student is making every effort to succeed in their courses, yet does
not earn the grades they feel they deserve, they may benefit from being
assessed for a learning disability. By completing this process, students
are given a greater understanding of their particular methods of processing
information. They learn if there are specific learning skills that are
causing them difficulty, and they are given strategies for compensating for
those difficulties. If it is determined that they meet the eligibility
criteria, they may receive services and accommodations from the IAC and
CSD.
2. Test Proctoring – Some students
are entitled to receive test accommodations, such as extra time or the use
of a word processor. Most faculty do not have the time or resources to
determine which accommodations are appropriate or who should receive them.
The IAC provides test proctoring as a service to the faculty, as well as the
students.
3. Specialized Tutoring – Students who want
assistance with a math or English class on an ongoing basis may sign up for
St Dv 143. The IAC has two full-time professionals on staff to provide
specialized academic support for students with disabilities.
4. Learning Specialists – We offer a
number of services to facilitate student progress, including the following:
- Study skills and learning
strategies
- Talking books
- Academic progress
monitoring
- Referrals to outside sources
- Coaching
- Goal setting
