WELCOME

The mission of the Disability Resource Center (DRC) at Canada College is to facilitate academic success for students with disabilities, limitations and/or learning challenges by providing support services & equal access to all educational programs and activities on campus so they may achieve their full potential. Those students with physical, visual, hearing, speech, mental health, learning and intellectual disabilities as well as other health conditions, acquired brain injuries, autism, and ADHD are served.

In this effort, we offer an array of services to support our students' success in their classes and other campus programs and activities. As part of our commitment to providing a supportive and inclusive learning environment, the DRC team is dedicated to ensuring that each students' specific needs are met.
