Assistive Technology Lab

DSPS offers an Assistive Technology Lab designed for students with disabilities who are enrolled in mainstream college credit classes and whose disabilities result in educational limitations in the area of math, reading and writing. Students may receive tailored, ongoing support from our in-person DSPS Lab Assistants, who help students get set up with DSPS processes and understand how to use their approved accommodations, including the use or demonstration of assistive technology. Through this resource, students can navigate coursework and foster academic independence within an inclusive space designated for their success.   

If you’d like to book a training session for assistive technology listed in your DSPS Academic Accommodation Plan, email jcampos16@sbcc.edu

Note: For inquiries about subject-specific tutoring, DSPS students may email dsps@sbcc.edu to check availability and set up recurring appointments with one of our Remote DSPS Support Tutors. Please note that subject coverage varies and is not guaranteed for all courses.

Resources Available in the AT Lab

  • Assistive Technology" is defined by the Technology-Related Assistance Act of 1988 as "any item, piece of equipment, or product system, whether acquired commercially off-the-shelf, modified, or customized that is used to increase, maintain or improve the functional capabilities of individuals with disabilities."

  • Used as a compensatory tool, assistive technology helps individuals with disabilities bridge equity gaps in daily life while enhancing productivity and independence in school, work, and beyond. Its implementation is a key step toward providing equal access and fostering inclusive participation. *** Assistive technologies may only be accessed if a DSPS counselor has approved the accommodation for a student. ***
