Winter 1999 UCLA
NEW HORIZONS
UCLA Office for Students with Disabilities
A WORD FROM THE DIRECTOR
Kathy's Korner
Hope you all had a wonderful holiday season and that 1999 is a most successful year for you all.
While the OSD is eager to begin the Winter Quarter, we are also saddened to announce that Thabi Moloi is leaving our program. For the past two years, Thabi has done an outstanding job as Notetaker Coordinator and as the editor of New Horizons. Thabi, we will miss you, the meaningful contributions you have made to our program and your wonderful way with our student clientele. Good luck Thabi in your new position as a Disability Benefits Specialist with UNUM America.
On another note, while we do our very best to see you on the spot when you drop by the office, we are finding it increasingly difficult to do so on a drop-in basis due to the numbers of students we are serving. So, as much as possible, I would like to encourage you to make an appointment with the OSD staff member you are working with. This way, you will be assured of meeting with the person you need to, and they will be able to spend the necessary time with you to make sure your needs are met.
I know you are busy, but if you have a minute, stop by and let me know how things are going, especially if your are having any problems. Again, Happy New Year and have a great quarter.
UCLA RANKS IN THE TOP TEN DISABILITY-FRIENDLY COLLEGES!
(Excerpt reprinted with permission from September issue of NEW MOBILITY MAGAZINE, "10 Disability-Friendly Colleges "by Rachel Ross)
If you have a disability, attending college means thinking about a lot more than just academic facilities and social amenities. Will the support you need to succeed academically be available? Accessible classrooms, transportation and academic services are all important considerations.
Last winter, NEW MOBILITY sent a questionnaire to disability resource officers at 50 public universities and colleges selected from the top tier of U.S. News and World Report’s annual ranking.
Thirty-four schools returned the surveys in time for inclusion in the article. Ten campuses stood out from the crowd, either for some unique program, opportunity or approach to service delivery, or for the less definable attributes that somehow make an environment disability-friendly.

OSD Services
Whether you are a new or continuing student, the OSD is here to assist you. There are many academic support services that the OSD has to offer regularly enrolled UCLA students with documented permanent and temporary disabilities. These disability-based services include:
Notetaking
Provided for students with a wide variety of disabilities, there are three approaches to this service: ASUCLA Lecture Notes, Volunteer Stipend Approach, and Classroom Assistant. The approach selected for a particular student will be determined after discussion with the Notetaker Coordinator and based on verified need.
Proctoring
As an academic adjustment, a student with a disability may need alternative test-taking conditions. Depending upon the disability documentation, appropriate testing accommodations for students may include: the exam printed in large print or Braille; additional time for the exam; one-on-one assistance such as the proctor reading the test questions and/or writing the student’s answers. Please contact the Proctor Coordinator for further information.
Transcription
Provided primarily for eligible students with learning disabilities, visual impairments or disabilities impacting manual dexterity, this service involves the conversion of information in any format into another format (tape to transcript, text to Braille, handwriting to typed, etc.).
Reading/Scanning
The OSD will first facilitate membership in RFBD (Recording for the Blind and Dyslexic) for eligible students. If the readings are unavailable through RFBD, then readings may be done live or onto a tape. Scanning involves using a computer to scan the material and convert it to a word processing program which can, in turn, be converted into Braille, large print or a speech synthesized reading program.
Technology Resources for Students with Disabilities
The Office for Students with Disabilities maintains a Resource Room in Powell 181 that is used by students for distraction-free testing and use of special adaptive equipment and devices. There are several computer workstations with adaptive software that are used for scanning, reading, editing, large print, voice recognition and other activities. In addition, there are computer labs throughout the campus available to students who need regular technology.
The Office for Students with Disabilities maintains a close working relationship with the Disabilities and Computing Program which researches and field tests adaptive technology as it comes out and makes recommendations to students and campus departments. Students can receive training on the software and advice on the most useful software for their individual needs. Students may contact this program on their own or be referred by the Office for Students with Disabilities.
Priority Enrollment/ Registration Assistance
Priority enrollment is available to undergraduate students whose disability impacts their ability to get from class to class quickly, students who need to arrange for service providers or students who must take a reduced course load. Students requiring disability-based registration assistance, may contact the OSD for more information.
Mobility Assistance Program
On-Campus Van Service
This service offers academically related rides to students with mobility disabilities which impact their ability to travel around campus. Van service is provided from 7:20am to 5:40pm, Monday through Thursday. Friday hours are 7:20am to 5:00pm. Contact the OSD to ask for the Campus Transportation Options flyer which contains information regarding evening and weekend rides and much, much, more.
Parking
All students with permanent or temporary disabilities or medical conditions must apply for parking directly at the OSD. Please contact the OSD by phone (267-2004) in order to arrange for an appointment. Students with Department of Motor Vehicle Disability Placards or Plates must bring their placard ID to their appointment.
Students without DMV disability plates or placards must have a Disability Verification Form completed by a health care professional in order to apply for parking. This form can be obtained from the OSD. Parking is granted only if a disability-based need is stated in the documentation.
The Mobility Assistance Coordinator will authorize appropriate parking. The application then needs to be taken to Parking Services for payment, processing and issuance of a permit and gate key.
Campus Orientation
Students with visual impairments may request a campus orientation and mobility session with the Mobility Assistance Coordinator. The student will learn to traverse the campus as he/she would during a regular day - - going from the classroom to labs, lecture halls, or bus stops.
Program for Deaf and Hard of Hearing Students
Interpreting/Captioning
In order to participate fully in classes and activities, students who are deaf may receive Sign Language interpreting or real-time captioning. Interpreters use American Sign Language to interpret what the teachers and students say. Realtime captioning allows deaf students to read the verbatim lecture on a laptop computer as the professor lectures. Real-time captioning uses the same method and equipment used by court reporters.
Program for Students with Learning Disabilities
The Learning Disabilities Program serves students with documented specific learning disabilities, attention deficit disorder, acquired brain injury, and students with psychological disabilities. Based on their disability-related needs, students may receive extended time for exams, notetakers, tutorial services, textbooks on tape, adaptive technology, alternative testing format, disability-related counseling and may participate in learning strategies workshops, support groups and the peer mentor program.
Technology for Students with Learning Disabilities
Reading machines and voice-synthesized editing programs are available in our Resource Room, Powell 181. These aids may be used to compensate for reading and writing difficulties. The following assistive technology is available for student use:
Bookwise Reading Program: Bookwise is a "friendly" reading program that uses a voice synthesizer to read aloud to students. Popular features of this software include a dictionary to define unfamiliar vocabulary, easily adjustable reading rates and a selection of computer voices. You can readily edit your papers by turning on the computer voice.
Openbook: Openbook is a "scan n’ read" computer program. It will scan a full page in less than 15 seconds and read aloud to students. Text can also be saved on disk for reading at a later time.
Please contact a Learning Disability Specialist to determine your eligibility to use this assistive technology, and for a demonstration.
Other Services at the OSD
Other Services offered by this office include: Housing Assistance, Tutorial Referrals, Disability Management Counseling and Information and Referral, among others.

Taking Control of Your Life with Time Management Strategies.
Students with learning disabilities generally require more time than others to complete assignments and master instructional objectives. Although wasted time is a problem for all students, it is an especially acute problem for students with learning disabilities and ADHD. Below is a proven strategy for effectively managing your time:
- Prepare a Quarter Planner with a ten week calendar. Using all your syllabi, mark all your due dates (papers, projects, and exams) in ink for all your classes. Then estimate how long it will take to prepare for each test or assignment and mark the dates that you should begin to work towards each goal in pencil. Hang your Quarter Planner on the wall near your desk or other convenient space that you will see every day.
- Prepare a weekly calendar with all committed times (classes, work, exercise, commuting, meals, social times). Examine the "white spaces" and mark study and homework times for each class. Plan to study in the same, quiet space each time.
- Prepare a daily "to do" list every night before going to bed for the next day. Use your Quarter Calendar to help you develop this list.
Make an appointment with Arline Halper 206-9160 or Chana Bell 206-6386 for copies of the calendars and for additional learning strategies. Good luck!!

These mentors are people who have (or have had) a similar physical condition.
In addition, through the Peer Network part of the program, students can be connected with other students who are dealing with similar physical conditions for the purpose of information exchange and mutual support.
A support group for students who have any kind of health problem or physical disability will meet once a week during the school year.
SPS also offers a support group for students with psychiatric disabilities. The group meets every Friday.
For information about the Health Psychology and Disabilities Program or the support group for students with physical disabilities, please call Chris Miller at SPS (825-0768).

CONSTRUCTION UPDATE FOR WINTER 1999
Haines Hall will be closed for at least the next two to three years for seismic upgrades and extensive remodeling. Many of the offices in Haines have been relocated to Hershey Hall and the B level of Murphy Hall. Please call the Office you wish to visit first to ascertain the exact location.
Construction continues for the Westwood Office Building, located at the corner of Westwood and Strathmore directly adjacent to Parking Structure 8. All Parking and Commuter Services are open during the remodel and addition. However, the sidewalk along the construction corner is closed.
The additions to Wooden and Morgan continue as well. Even though there is a great deal of fencing in the area, both of these buildings are accessible.
Construction is progressing along for the Janns Auto Court. This underground parking facility is attached to Lot 4 between the Men’s Gym and Dance Buildings. There is fencing around this project and a temporary, wooden sidewalk along the east side the Men’s gym and Dance Buildings.
The DeNeve Plaza Project continues with little impact to pedestrian and vehicular traffic in the Residence Hall area.
The small parking lot east of Knudsen Hall remains closed because it is a staging area for the interior remodel of Knudsen.
The top ten disability-friendly colleges as ranked by NEW MOBILITY MAGAZINE are:
University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign
University of California at Berkeley
Edinboro University of Pennsylvania
University of Wisconsin
Madison and Whitewater Campuses
University of Colorado at Denver
Florida State University, Tallahassee
UCLA
University of Minnesota, Twin Cities
Wayne State University, Detroit
Texas A & M University, College Station
Ten years ago, navigating UCLA on wheels was almost impossible. Today, only two structures out of hundreds remain inaccessible. Much of the positive change can be credited to the Office for Students with Disabilities, seen by some as a model program. OSD has collaborated with the Disabilities and Computing Program to teach new students how to make optimum use of the advanced technology available and to ensure that students with disabilities have equal access to all campus facilities. Accessible housing is now plentiful in UCLA residence halls – although there is no school-sponsored PCA [Personal Care Attendant] program – and off-campus in nearby university-owned apartments.
UCLA houses the National Arts and Disability Center, a free resource for artists with disabilities and arts organizations. …As a result of NADC’s collaboration with OSD, it is now common to see respected performers with disabilities at the Armand Hammer Museum and major exhibitions of disability art on the walls of Kerckhoff Art Gallery.
Copies of NEW MOBILITY and this article are available at the OSD.

Should a problem arise in the course of your service delivery you may want to consider the recommendations outlined in OSD’s "How to Resolve Service Delivery Problems" handout:
HOW TO RESOLVE SERVICE DELIVERY PROBLEMS
It is fair to say that even with the best efforts of everyone involved with your service delivery plans at UCLA, a problem may occur. If this should happen, we strongly encourage you to let us know so that we can work together to solve the problem as quickly as possible. Experience has shown us that many times a problem arises because of a misunderstanding or miscommunication; clarification can be a quick and effective solution. We can help with suggestions on how to resolve problems you may have with your service providers, professors, TA’s or Departments. It is best to discuss the issue with the person involved first, then go to the person’s supervisor or department chair, if you have not arrived at a satisfactory resolution. If the OSD is part of the problem, we want to know that, too. Should the OSD be unable to assist in resolving a problem, we can refer you to other on-campus or off-campus resources.
The Americans with Disabilities Act requires the University to adopt and publish procedures to resolve problems regarding access to the educational program for persons with disabilities. An individual who believes he or she has been discriminated against on the basis of disability can exercise the options below. We recommend the following progression as the most efficient way of dealing with issues:
- Discuss with the person in charge of the program in question.
- Discuss with Kathy Molini, OSD Director, if the issue is regarding the Office for Students with Disabilities. (310) 825-1501 (V), (310) 206-6083 (TYY)
- Contact the Ombuds Office (310) 825-7627
- Discuss with the Dean of Students.
- Consult with the Chancellor’s ADA & 504 Compliance Office (310) 825-2242 (V), (310) 206-3349 (TTY)
- Seek resolution through the Office of Civil Rights of the Federal Department of Education.
- Seek resolution through private legal means.
The University is available to assist you in resolving conflicts by informal means. You may exercise any of the options above at any time. Throughout any of these procedures you may expect to be treated with respect, receive a timely response, not suffer from any form of retaliation, and have your issues dealt with in a confidential manner, if so requested. The University expects from you that you bring up any problems early, give clear and detailed information and be respectful of those people who are working with you. If you wish to know more about your rights as a disabled person under Federal and State law and University policy, OSD can refer you to the appropriate entity. Retaliation in any form against persons who file complaints is prohibited by disability-related law and University policy. UCLA developed this information in accordance with these references: Public Law 101-336; the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (ADA); Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973; and the University of California Policies Applying to Campus Activities, Organizations and Students, Section 140.00.
