Services for Students with Special Learning Needs

In compliance with the Rehabilitation Act 504, SAU Tech provides these services:

Counselor Referral. Students in need of more services than SAU Tech can provide are generally referred to the Arkansas Rehabilitation Service Office in El Dorado or their hometown office, if available.

Library Services. There are videotapes and computer programs that may be helpful in some subject areas.

Tutoring Services. Tutoring services are available through the library that is located east of the Administration Building and through Upswing.

Low Vision System. Students with low vision can use the VTI Video Magnifier 1800 color Auto-Focus system that is available in the Learning Resource Center.

Request for Tutor/Note Taker. Documentation of need by a clinical professional will be required prior to approval of this service.

Request to Tape Course Lectures. This is handled on an individual basis with approval of the instructor.

Testing Accommodations. Students who need untimed tests, special paper, or tutor to write answers must receive authorization for these services each semester prior to enrolling for courses.

It is recommended that students who have special needs have an admissions interview to discuss learning services available through SAU Tech to determine whether services are available that will meet their needs or that the student will be responsible for providing.
