Institutional Policies and Procedures

CCDI fully endorsed a Philosophy and Policies Document in 1993. This document is strongly recommended to Colleges as they prepare and design Policies and Procedures in response to students with disabilities.

A College's statements to the public should represent the values that are practiced in the environment. Agreement on a basic set of values is critical to the implementation of the policies and procedures. Respecting services for students with disabilities, the following contents are strongly recommended:

• Statement of Principle
• Recruitment and Selection Strategies
• Accessibility of the Institution
• Disability Services Office
• Self-Identification Process
• Confidentiality
• Student Records
• Release of Information
• Accommodations Provided
• Alternative Format Processes
• Diagnostic Testing and Consultations
• Professional Development
