Students with Disabilities

RCI may provide reasonable accommodations during a program to students with disabilities (including learning disabilities). Reasonable accommodations are defined as accommodations that do not fundamentally alter the program. All students are still required to meet the program's enrollment requirements.

If you require special accommodations, please submit your written request along with your program registration. Upon receipt, you will be contacted by our Client Services Manager to discuss your request and obtain your current disability evaluation. (The evaluation must include a comprehensive diagnosis and testing conducted during adulthood or within 3 years of the student's initial request for disability-related services.) For assistance with any questions concerning special accommodations, please contact our Client Services Manager at 626-457-1992.
