Norfolk's Northeast Community College Announces Disability Services Orientation Night

Northeast Community College in Norfolk, Nebraska, will host a Disability Services Orientation Night on May 21 at 6 p.m. This event, held in the College Welcome Center, Room 1108, is for new students and their families to learn about the support services available. A virtual session will also be available on June 11 for those who cannot attend in person.

The orientation aims to help students with disabilities, or those who think they may have a disability, understand the accommodations and support services offered by the college. The director of Disability Services highlighted the event's role in maximizing students' educational opportunities by introducing them to available resources.

The event is especially useful for students with chronic physical or mental health conditions, and those who have benefited from special education programs or 504 plans in high school. Students are encouraged to bring family members or friends for support.

At the event, current students will discuss how they have used accommodations and academic supports, including assistive technology, to navigate their college education.
