TRIO Training

The Office of Disability Services’ TRIO Grant Program offers trainings for tutors and workshops for Broward College professors and staff to better equip them to work with students with disabilities. With specialized training sessions and workshops, our attendees gain a better understanding of the causes and diagnoses of the various disabilities with which our students live. Through the hands-on, interactive activities employed, they have been able to experience some of the challenges (both physical and psychological) that our students must overcome in order to be successful in their classes. Additionally, attendees are provided with tools to determine learning preferences, strategies for teaching students with disabilities, and demonstrations of assistive technology.
