Student Services & Accommodations Faculty/Staff Resources Visitors to GCC Our primary objective is to promote independence and facilitate achievement of educational and vocational goals for individuals with disabilities. What We Do GCC encourages students with disabilities to participate fully in campus activities. The Office of Disability Services collaborates with individuals with disabilities to develop accommodation plans to ensure access to Greenfield Community College’s campus and education programs. Our office coordinates accommodations across campus, provides information about off-campus resources, and delivers training to GCC faculty and staff on best practices for supporting students with disabilities. In addition, the Office of Disability Services coordinates accommodations for visitors to GCC who request accommodations necessary for campus related events. What Is a Disability? The Americans with Disabilities Act defines a disability as an impairment that substantially limits one or more major life activities (e.g. walking, standing, learning, reading, concentrating, communicating, seeing, hearing). Disabilities may be physical, psychological and/or learning-based in nature. A few examples of a disability are as follows: Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD/ADHD), Anxiety Disorder, Depression Disorder, Post-traumatic Stress Disorder, Autism Spectrum Disorder, Seizure Disorder, Reading and/or Learning Disorder, Hearing Impairment, Traumatic Brain Injury, Mobility Impairment, and Vision Impairment.
