Eligibility
To be eligible for assistance, you will need to provide proper documentation which states your disability. This documentation may include:

 

  • A copy of an inactive I.E.P. (previous Special Education student)
  • A letter or medical report from a physician, psychologist or any qualified medical professional
  • Workers Compensation records
  • Record of a veteran's service-related disability

 

Please Note: All accommodations must be clearly identified, directly correlated to the disability, and documented by a qualified medical professional to make the diagnosis. Once you have qualified and registered through the DSS Office, we will assist you with registering and coordinating service and accommodations throughout your training. We are always here to provide assistance and support throughout your educational path.

 

Agency Referral:
If you need financial assistance with the training costs and plan to enter into employment following the completion of your training, you may qualify for services and support through the Department of Rehabilitation and/or Work Source Center. These agencies offer free services to assist adults who have disabilities to prepare for and secure employment. See the California Department of Rehabilitation for more information.
