28 - None or no special services available 4 - N/a or not applicable 3 - I don't know or unaware of any Ad hoc basis - no requests so far Computer access offered with assistance / there have been no requests for adaptive equipment. Have not had disabled students whose handicap prevented computer access. If this arises, we will do whatever is necessary to provide access. None - Students already possess their own equipment as needed None currently, most of our students have their own computers which they can plug into the campus network. None available specifically for learning disabled population None requested by students Open door institution; no specific program for disabled std, all treated the same. Sadly, as of yet, we do not have a program for providing adaptive computer equipment. We have had no request. We have no needs that I am aware of.
2 - Student Services 4 computers specifically designed for disabled students. A high-tech center serving 200 students Access to all computer equipment and instruction on campus. We have not had requests for adaptive equipment for computers.

All of our "disabled students" currently are using computers - "Adaptive devices" is ambiguous. All students must be medically qualified to serve on active duty in the Air Force. All students have PCs Assistive devices & training are provided by Rehabilitation Services. All the above is provided by this agency. Classes offered for training on equipment and learning word processing Classes in adaptive computer access/word processing Computer work tables adjusted for wheelchair access Computer Learning Lab testing on computer Computerized Language Lab for the Deaf Computer Assisted English & Computer Lab for remedial reading Computers for student use Computing Services needs to be defined; the meaning of the term seems to change in the next page.

None - Students already possess their own equipment as needed No request No disabled students Open door institution; no specific program for disabled std, all treated the same. The question has never arisen to my knowledge. The issue has not arisen. This has not come up yet!!! This does not apply - computing services are accorded to all students. We have no formal computer services for disabled. We have no special equipment to my knowledge We only have 1 disabled student who uses own adaptive equip. We have no special computing equipment yet (as that term seems to be defined by question 5). This reflects how the issue could most likely be handled. We have no special computing facilities or services. Classroom aides are used as needed. We don't have any computing services on campus so this is n/a.
