What process and procedures are used to qualify students for support services from the DSSO?
Every student who comes to the disability support service office for assistance will participate in an intake interview to determine eligibility for assistance from the DSSO. If no documentation is available the counselor may refer the student to an outside agency for assistance. Some of the outside agencies we use include: Texas Rehabilitation Commission (TRC), Mental Health and Mental Retardation Agency of Harris County (MHMRA), The Commission for the Blind (TCB), The Commission for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing (TCDHH) the Neuhaus Learning Center, and the University of Houston. In addition, we have a list of qualified diagnosticians that we give to students if they need to have a full psychological evaluation to determine whether or not they have a learning disability. The college is not required to provide psychological testing for learning disabilities and does not do so.
