Improving Services to Learning Disabled Students at Oxnard College through the Identification of Referral Sources. Learning Theory.
Jones, Joan
In order to improve services to learning disabled (LD) students in a California community college setting (and to recruit new students as well as carry out ongoing curriculum adaptations), the study sought to identify sources of referral of LD students to the college special education department. Following a review of relevant literature, data from student files on referral sources of 73 LD students currently enrolled at the college were analyzed. The source of referral of the greatest number of LD students was the college's own Divisions (math/science, vocational/technical, counseling, and essential skills), with local high schools ranking second, other (peers and Department of Social Welfare) ranking third, self-referral fourth, parents/relatives fifth, and the Department of Rehabilitation referring the least number of students. Among recommendations are greater sharing of information on learning disabilities, and initiation of efforts to increase LD enrollment at the institution by extended outreach programs to low identified sources of referral.
