to develop specific job skills. Students receive on-the-job training at
the Foothill campus and enroll in communication, social skills, independent
living and physical education classes. For more information, call Teresa Ong

counseling, early registration, note-taking and extended time for
examinations are available. Classes offered include study skills,
compensatory techniques and writing skills. To schedule a consultation,
