67311
. It is the desire and intent of the Legislature that, as
appropriate for each postsecondary segment, funds for disabled
student programs and services be based on the following three
categories of costs:
(a) Fixed costs associated with the ongoing administration and
operation of the services and programs. These fixed costs are basic
ongoing administrative and operational costs of campus programs that
are relatively consistent in frequency from year-to-year, such as:
(1) Access to, and arrangements for, adaptive educational
equipment, materials, and supplies required by disabled students.
(2) Job placement and development services related to the
transition from school to employment.
(3) Liaisons with campus and community agencies, including
referral and followup services to these agencies on behalf of
disabled students.
(4) On-campus and off-campus registration assistance, including
priority enrollment, applications for financial aid, and related
college services.
(5) Special parking, including on-campus parking registration,
temporary parking permit arrangements, and application assistance for
students who do not have state handicapped placards or license
plates.
(6) Supplemental specialized orientation to acquaint students with
the campus environment.
(7) Activities to coordinate and administer specialized services
and instruction.
(8) Activities to assess the planning, implementation, and
effectiveness of disabled student services and programs.
The baseline cost of these services shall be determined by the
respective system and fully funded with annual adjustments for
inflation and salary range changes, to the extent funds are provided.
(b) Continuing variable costs that fluctuate with changes in the
number of students or the unit load of students. These continuing
variable costs are costs for services that vary in frequency
depending on the needs of students, such as the following:
(1) Diagnostic assessment, including both individual and group
assessment not otherwise provided by the institution to determine
functional, educational, or employment levels or to certify specific
disabilities.
(2) On-campus mobility assistance, including mobility training and
orientation and manual or automatic transportation assistance to and
from college courses and related educational activities.
(3) Off-campus transportation assistance, including transporting
students with disabilities to and from the campus in areas where
accessible public transportation is unavailable, inadequate, or both.
(4) Disability-related counseling and advising, including
specialized academic, vocational, personal, and peer counseling, that
is developed specifically for disabled students and not duplicated
by regular counseling and advising services available to all
students.
(5) Interpreter services, including manual and oral interpreting
for deaf and hard-of-hearing students.
(6) Reader services to coordinate and provide access to
information required for equitable academic participation if this
access is unavailable in other suitable modes.
(7) Services to facilitate the repair of equipment and learning
assistance devices.
(8) Special class instruction that does not duplicate existing
college courses but is necessary to meet the unique educational needs
of particular groups of disabled students.
(9) Speech services, provided by licensed speech or language
pathologists for students with verified speech disabilities.
(10) Test taking facilitation, including adapting tests for and
proctoring test taking by, disabled students.
(11) Transcription services, including, but not limited to, the
provision of Braille and print materials.
(12) Specialized tutoring services not otherwise provided by the
institution.
(13) Notetaker services for writing, notetaking, and manual
manipulation for classroom and related academic activities.
State funds may be provided annually for the cost of these
services on an actual-cost basis, including wages for the individuals
providing these services and expenses for attendant supplies. Each
institution shall be responsible for documenting its costs to the
appropriate state agencies.
(c) One-time variable costs associated with the purchase or
replacement of equipment. One-time variable costs are one-time
expenditures for the purchase of supplies or the repair of equipment,
such as adapted educational materials and vehicles. State funds
shall be provided for these expenses on an actual cost basis as
documented by each institution.
