Supported Learning Program at Naylor

The Naylor Learning Center is across the hall from the Writing Center. Staff there provide assistance for students with learning disabilities through the Supported Learning Program. The program also assists incoming freshmen with the transition to college.

The Naylor Learning Center provides accommodations for students with disabilities even if not enrolled in the Supported Learning Program. If you have a disability that is documented through psycho-educational/doctor evaluation, and you request accommodations, the College will abide by ADA standards; however, the services provided by the Supported Learning Program are more comprehensive.
