General Information
What does DSPS do?
Victor Valley College DSPS extends to individuals with communicative,
developmental, learning, psychological, physical, visual, and/or
hearing disabilities the opportunity to acquire the necessary
knowledge and skills for increased self-actualization and independence.
These skills may also be used to gain a college degree or for
vocational development leading to employment.
Disabled Student Program and Services has been designed to
respond on an individual basis to the needs of Victor
Valley College
students with disabilities that are eligible for services.
The aim is to intervene when a developmental, learning,
physical,
and/or psychological limitation interferes with the instructional
process provided by the College. This allows students an
equal opportunity to the same quality education as any
other student.
With the growing awareness on the part of all people regarding
human rights and equal access, all students need to understand
that it is ability not disability that counts.
Eligibility requirements

verified by a physician, psychologist or other appropriate

not limited to, Developmentally Delayed Learners, Acquired
Brain
Injury,
