Disability Services

MTC is committed to providing students with disabilities equal and equitable access to all programs, services, and activities, including classroom access.  The  Disability Services Office (located in BR176) works with students and faculty to facilitate appropriate provision of accommodations based on functional limitations of the diagnosed disability or disabling condition.

Some of the disabilities or disabling conditions include (not exhaustive): specific learning disabilities (dyslexia, processing); mental health conditions (depression, generalized anxiety disorder, PTSD); medical or chronic health conditions (diabetes, multiple sclerosis); mobility conditions (paraplegia, CP); Deaf/hard of hearing/hearing loss; Blind/vision loss. Each student will need to meet with Chelsea Glezen in Disability Services to discuss their specific situation (and will need to provide documentation of their disability if the functional limitations are not readily apparent) in order for accommodations to be determined as appropriate.

Students should meet and discuss their situation with Chelsea as soon as possible, as some accommodations can take significant time to arrange. A delay in meeting with Chelsea can delay the provision of accommodations for the classroom.  Additionally, as there are significant differences between the college classroom and the high school classroom, and the use of the accommodations, it is important for students to meet with Chelsea early to learn about the college accommodations process.

If students need accommodations for MTC placement testing, that should be requested by the student in advance of the planned test date in order to arrange the accommodations.

If you need your course materials read aloud, please download Read & Write software.

Should students (and their parents) have questions about accommodations in the college setting, we welcome them to meet with Chelsea to discuss.  Please contact Disability Services by emailing DS@mtc.edu or call 740-386-4200 to set up an appointment for informational meeting. The student, as the enrolled person, will need to attend the meeting with and can invite their parent, or another supportive person they want, to join the meeting.

Thank you for choosing MTC and we look forward to you joining our educational community!
