Facilities (source: Faculty/ Dir/Coord/Dean)1) List of all facilities (Please indicate if any of these were added last year): Located on the first floor of the Cravens Student Services Center, DSPS resides in a single suite of 9 privates offices, 5 cubicles, 5 work stations, a conference room (shared with the College), the High Tech Center, TRIO-DSPS Program resource center room, the proctored exam area (one open space with 7 stations and 6 distraction-reduced small private stations with doors) and a workroom/file room.

2) Assessment of adequacy of current facilities:The facilities in the Cravens Student Services Center represent a rarity in disabled student services; that is, to have a facility that was designed specifically for these services. Nevertheless, any space comes with its own issues. After being in this location for over 5 years, we are already in need of additional file & storage space. We continue to have service issues with our waiting area outside the office in the corridor being shared with students at large, many of whom find this space attractive for studying, socializing and waiting for rides with friends and family. The location presents a difficult situation for the confidentiality of our clients. In addition, although the Proctoring Center received computers from the HTC three years ago for safety reasons, the Proctoring Center no longer has adequate space and equipment due to an increase in student population

and changes in how exams are administered by faculty.

Equipment and Supplies (source: Faculty/ Dir/Coord/Dean)The High Tech Center (HTC) is an instructional laboratory that houses 16 workstations for students. It is used both in the instruction of specific DSPS courses as well as provide an open laboratory for DSPS students. Adaptive equipment is included with most work stations that provide students with learning, visual and physical disabilities the opportunity to access text and web-based materials. Examples include scanners, screen readers, voice-to-text programs and text-to-speech programs. A copier/printer is available for student use. There is also a Braille printer, Piaf, CCTVs, and high speed scanners for alternate media. Audio recorders and Smart-Pens are available for student check out. Printers are available to support limited student printing in the HTC. There are two stationary, ceiling mounted projectors. All staff have workstations complete with printers. A high speed multifunction copier/printer/fax is centrally located in the office. A change in a software agreement for Kurzweil 3000 now allows us to give students a copy of the software to install on their personal computer, this also gives them access to FireFly, a web based version of Kurzweil 3000.

Summary - Narrative Interpretation (source: Faculty/Dir/Coord/Dean) Currently our general staff computers are not up to date. We have a growing need in our proctoring area. The proctoring area needs updated workstations, additional monitors, more partitions, and expansion of cameras to cover additional testing areas. In addition, we need to expand and also update the current workstations in the HTC. After staff and proctoring computers are upgraded we can move forward with plan to maintain them and cycle in following the Technology Master Plan. Our high tech center is currently on a 2 year replacement cycle on the technology master plan.
