Which support provides accommodations and auxiliary aids for students with documented disabilities?

• A. Counseling
• B. Tutoring
• C. Disability Services
• D. Academic Advisement

Answer: (C)

Providing accommodations and auxiliary aids ensures students with documented disabilities have equal access to learning experiences. The unit that coordinates these supports at Broward College is Disability Services. They review documented needs, determine appropriate accommodations, and arrange them in coordination with instructors—such as extended time on tests, extra breaks, assistive technology, alternate formats of textbooks, captioning or sign language interpretation, note-taking services, or accessible seating. This office also handles confidentiality and the process for requesting accommodations.

Counseling supports emotional and psychological well-being, Tutoring focuses on subject-mpecific help without typically arranging accommodations, and Academic Advisement guides degree planning and course selection. Disability Services is the resource that specifically handles accommodations and auxiliary aids.
