What is a strategies tutor, you ask? A strategies tutor is a generalist that is trained to work with students with disabilities. However, these tutors can cover a broad range of math levels as well as courses that require writing. If you have the need for strategies tutoring, please contact dsps@sbcc.edu.

For additional information tutoring services available to you at SBCC, please visit the Cartwright Learning Resource Center.

If you are having difficulty accessing the online course content due to your assistive technology (screen reader, text to speech software, etc.),  notify your instructor that you are having difficulty accessing a specific tool or document to see if they can provide an accessible version. Then consult with DSPS to assist you or help you work with your instructor. 

Please contact us for accessibility requests and concerns at (805) 730-4164 or via email at dsps@sbcc.edu

If you are approved for alternate media, audio books, e-text, or other formats, and need additional support, please contact dsps@sbcc.edu.
