About Us

Efforts to comply with the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 and the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, both in letter and in spirit, have resulted in increasing the numbers of adults with disabilities achieving great success at the college level.

“Leveling the playing field” to provide equal access to education for all is the goal of the programs developed expressly for the support of learning here at Leeward Community College.

Accommodations given to students with disabilities in no way afford them an unfair advantage. Rather, they are in place to assist students with disabilities to overcome the disadvantages that would otherwise hinder their success.

KI provides support and services to students with documented disabilities by providing support services and programs that enable students with disabilities to maximize their independence to the fullest extent possible; and, to increase the level of awareness among all members of the college community so that students with disabilities are able to perform at a level limited only by their abilities, not their disabilities.
