Support Services for Students with Disabilities
 
Students who are learning challenged - To begin the process of receiving accommodations, students must schedule an appointment with a Special Services advisor. A copy of diagnostic testing, no older than five years, is required for your file. The advisor can help retrieve these documents and will be guided by testing recommendations for accommodations. Referrals for diagnostic testing also are made through this department.
 
Students who are physically challenged - Brookhaven is committed to reducing the barriers that physically challenged students often face. The campus is designed so that telephones, rest rooms and water fountains are accessible. Reserved handicapped parking, ramps and remote control door-openers are available throughout the campus.
