Services for Students
Who are Deaf
or Hard of Hearing
|

Lewis & Clark College is
committed to serving the needs of its deaf and hard-of-hearing
students. Lewis & Clark College's well-known graduate
program in Special Education for the Deaf and Hard-of-Hearing
has traditionally attracted the majority of students with hearing
difficulties, but the Law School and undergraduate program have
also served students who are deaf or hard-of-hearing.
In classes students have
utilized sign language interpreters and notetakers or, on occasion,
real-time captioning. Hard-of-hearing students also have utilized
a portable FM system with the back-up of a notetaker.
Instructors are encouraged
to be sensitive to the needs of students who are deaf or hard-of-hearing,
and the Coordinator of Student Support Services can provide
advice, support and accommodations for students and faculty
who request assistance in meeting the needs of the student and
the requirements of a particular course. We have provided the
services listed below for students who are deaf or hard-of-hearing,
but each case and each request for accommodations is considered
individually. As in the case of all students with disabilities,
students should be strong self-advocates and notify the office
of Student Support Services in advance of their needs, especially
if they use interpreters or real-time captioners, who need to
be contacted in a timely manner.
Students are encouraged
to let the Student Support Services Office (at 503-768-7191
or access@lclark.edu)
know as soon as possible if they are planning to visit or attend
Lewis & Clark so that arrangements can be made to meet their
needs.
