DISABLED STUDENT SERVICES PROGRAM
The Philosophy of our Program:
It is the belief of the Disabled Student Services (DSS) Program that all individuals have unexplored potential. It is the goal of education to provide the individual the opportunity to investigate that unexplored potential. It is our purpose to assist in that investigation by reducing the impact of a disability on the individual's ability to fully participate in their chosen educational process.
The Disabled Student Services Program at Merced College is dedicated to the principle that society will benefit when all persons within it have the opportunity for life-long learning. It serves to make a wide array of educational opportunities, ranging from skill development to academic knowledge acquisition to cultural, ethical, and social awareness skills, available to its students.
The Disabled Student Services Program is committed to focusing on the educational needs and goals of students and to seeking solutions and strategies to circumvent and/or compensate for the obstacle blocking these goals. The goal of the Disabled Student Services Program is to optimize learning based upon the potential of the individual, not to therapeutically remedy the disability. All disabled students are part of the college's mainstream programs and services. While the Disabled Student Services Program staff provides a supportive and individualized approach to the provision of services, students are encouraged to be independent and expected to be responsible.
