Disability Support Services (DSS)
WELCOME!
The DSS (Disability Support Services) Office at LATC is dedicated to providing equal access and assistance for adult students with verifiable disabilities. All support services are individualized and may include:
ELIGIBILITY
To be eligible for assistance, your disability must be verifiable. This means you will need to provide documentation that states your disability. Documentation may include:
- Medical diagnosis information or a letter from your physician, psychologist, agency counselor, or qualified medical professional
- Inactive I.E.P. (for previous Special Education students) or 504 plan
- Workers' Compensation records
- Record of Military Veteran service-related disability
Please note that all accommodations must be:
- Clearly identified
- Directly correlated to your disability
- Documented by a qualified professional
DISABLING CONDITIONS
Disabling conditions may include, but are not limited to:
GET SUPPORT
Many students utilizing our services are originally referred to us by:
- California's Department of Rehabilitation
- Veterans Administration
- Regional Centers
- Private rehabilitation agencies
- LAUSD Office of Transition Services (DOTS)
While these agencies are great places to get assistance, you never need a referral to seek support from us! All students who feel they may need support and/or accommodations are invited to visit us. And, of course, all your disability-related information is 100% confidential. Please visit LAUSD DSS for more information.
