About
Student Disability Services and Accommodations
By providing equal access and opportunity, the Center for Accessibility and Neurodiversity
at Illinois Valley Community College provides a welcoming environment for individuals
with disabilities. As a unit of the Learning Resources Division, the Center is the
designated office for students with disabilities to provide approved accommodation
services. The Center for Accessibility and Neurodiversity obtains and maintains documentation
of disability, certifies eligibility for services, determines reasonable accommodations,
and develops plans for providing such accommodations. This is accomplished in a confidential
manner to ensure equal opportunity for participation in all courses, programs and
activities offered by IVCC.
Mission Statement
The mission of the Center for Accessibility and Neurodiversity is to support qualified students with learning differences by facilitating equal access to courses, materials, services, and activities through reasonable accommodations, and promote the concept of neurodiversity by providing information, support, tools, and resources to students, staff, and faculty, as well as community stakeholders. Our goal is to empower diverse learners.
