Office for Students with DisabilitiesAt the College of Lake County

[The mission of the OSD is to provide accessibility for each and every class under the law.]

[That access can come by the way of a service, such as sign language interpreters for the deaf.]

[Or in equipment, such as FM units for the hard of hearing.]

[For students with low vision, a portable CCTV may be offered in order to gain access.]

[Other examples of assistive equipment include digital voice recorders, Franklin dictionaries and digital pens.]

[If needed, our media conversion technicians can take the printed word, and convert it to an alternate format.]

[Though students receiving services through our office may be blind,

deaf or utilize a wheelchair, the majority of students our office serves have an

invisible disability, such as ADD, Anxiety, or a Learning Disability. ]

[Regardless of your career choice or area of academic interest, the Office for Students with Disabilities can provide

you with academic accommodations to assist you in meeting your goal.]
