Educational Development Classes
The Educational Development Program provides students with positive learning experiences in the areas of educational strategies, disability management, and decision making.
Our Educational Development (EDEV) classes offer academic, technological, and motivational support by encouraging students to understand themselves and advocate for themselves based on the laws that protect the rights of college students with disabilities.
Educational Development classes empower students to succeed in their college-level courses, while creating a sense of community with other EDEV students.
EDEV courses specifically designed for our deaf and hard-of-hearing (DHH) population provide DHH students with the opportunity to learn and develop language/literacy skills in their direct and natural language modality of American Sign Language (ASL). Students receive direct instruction from faculty members who are professional role models for our deaf and hard-of-hearing learners.
