Center for Access and Assistive Technology
Phone: (518) 629-7154 The college's Center for Access and Assistive Technology works to assist all qualified students with disabilities in the pursuit of their educational objectives. We attempt to coordinate the students' needs with services and resources available within our college system, and to ensure accessible educational opportunities for students according to their individual needs. Our philosophy is that the individuals we serve are students first, and their disabilities are secondary. The office strives to coordinate services that will enable students with disabilities to act as independently as possible in a supportive atmosphere that promotes self-reliance. It is the students' choice whether or not they utilize the available services. A pre-admissions visit to the college is highly recommended to all applicants. Persons with special needs are urged to visit early, preferably during their junior year of high school. The Admissions Office and the Center for Access and Assistive Technology should be contacted for an appointment. In addition, special appointments for students may be made by calling the office. The mission of the Center for Access and Assistive Technology at Hudson Valley Community College is to provide a comprehensive learning environment that promotes self-awareness and independence in a welcoming, supportive and technologically accessible educational setting. Our goal is to ensure students with disabilities the same opportunities to fully participate in all programs and activities provided by the college. The center is also committed to promoting access and awareness as a resource to all members of the community.
