Regents Hear Presentation on Serving Students with Disabilities
Among the University System of Georgia's (USG's) 283,000 student population are more than 9,000 individuals with a variety of disabilities that are being assisted through
a wide range of special programs. That's according to a report produced for the University System's Board of Regents that looked at how disabilities were being addressed
during Fiscal Year 2007. Dr. Christopher Lee, director of the USG's Alternative Media Access Center (AMAC), provided this information in a presentation during the regent's
Feb. meeting. The Center is one member of the network that serves students with disabilities throughout the University System. Other arms of the network consist of campus-based
disability student service offices, the Regents' Centers for Learning Disorders and a recently established AccessText Network.
The George-Anne Daily Georgia Southern University students are now able to use the Alternative Media Access Center.
