Alternate Media
Introduction
The ability to provide equal access to all information and electronic technology for our students with disabilities is critical to their educational success. Accommodations for our students with disabilities fall under the mandates of Section 504 and Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973. The Alternate Media Office at Berkeley City College provides the following services to achieve that end.
To insure equal access to printed instructional materials for students who are blind, have low vision or learning disabilities, the Alternate Textbook Program provides formats in Braille, large print, electronic text, digital audio files in Daisy & MP3, and tactile graphics. Adaptive equipment and assistive software are provided at PSSD computer stations throughout the campus. Closed captioning of video material and accessibility of our website and distance education classes, are on going projects. These Section 508 protocols are in place at Berkeley City College and you can view how they work at the following sites.
