Philosophy, Goals and Accessibility

Disability Services Mission

The Office of Disability Services supports the mission, academic programs and the advancement of Suffolk County Community College by ensuring that qualified individuals with disabilities are afforded an equal opportunity to participate in the programs, services and activities at Suffolk County Community College through the identification and enactment of reasonable accommodations to institutional policies and procedures, the provision of effective auxiliary aides and services and other support services while cultivating a campus culture that is sensitive and responsive to the needs of students.

Goals and Objectives

The goal of Suffolk County Community College with regard to students with disabilities is to equalize educational opportunities by minimizing physical, psychological and learning barriers. We attempt to provide as typical a college experience as is possible, encouraging students to achieve academically through the provision of special services, auxiliary aids, or reasonable program modifications. The main objectives are to:

  • insure that students with disabilities have equal access to all programs and services of the institution;
  • promote independence and preparation for entry into a competitive society;
  • facilitate the development of self-advocacy skills; and
  • assist students to transfer skills learned in the classroom to the world at large.

Accessibility

All major buildings on the three campuses are physically accessible. It should be noted that the Ammerman Campus is hilly, and as a result, wheelchair attendants may be needed during the winter months. Automatic doors have been installed in all major campus buildings. Adequate handicapped parking is available on all three campuses.
