The CCC HTCTU is a state-of-the-art training and support facility for community college faculty and staff wishing to acquire or improve teaching skills, methodologies and pedagogy in assistive computer technology, alternate media and Web accessibility. The HTCTU supports High Tech Center programs at more than 100 community colleges and satellite centers throughout California. More than ten thousand students with disabilities are enrolled in High Tech Center programs statewide.

The HTCTU home page is available at http://www.htctu.fhda.edu/.

The HTCTU works closely with the CCC Chancellor's Office Disabled Students Program and Services (DSPS) program unit. The DSPS program provides support services, specialized instruction, and educational accommodations to students with disabilities so that they can participate as fully and benefit as equitably from the college experience as their non-disabled peers.
