Program Description
The Disability Services Management
program at Grossmont College is designed to prepare the student to
provide support to individuals with disabilities in a variety of
home, work, school and recreation environments. Emphasis is placed
on students applying their skills in increasingly complex systems of
support which facilitate the inclusion of people with disabilities
in the fabric of society.
The program is
structured to encourage transfer to four-year institutions where
students can pursue professional degrees which would qualify
them for instructor, administrative or consultant positions.
