KCC's Office of Disability Services (ODS) works closely with students and instructors to accommodate individual student learning needs.
Students should contact their instructors and the ODS to make them aware of special learning needs.
Success is achieved by a learning environment that uses the student's learning strengths and compensates for individual learning weaknesses. Supportive services are provided to reasonably accommodate the needs of individual students with disabilities.
Students must provide current documentation of their disability.
Supportive services
- Academic Skills Center classes in study skills and computer literacy
- Alternate testing area
- Exam Readers
- Textbooks in alternate format
- Note takers
- Sign interpreters
- Tutors
- Modified Equipment
Many of these services require advance notification of enrollment. Contact the ODS at 815-802-8632 to ensure availability of the needed service at the beginning of the semester.
For more information, call 815-802-8632. TTY users in Illinois may contact the office by phoning Illinois Relay at 711. Outside Illinois TTY users call 800-526-0844.
