LD/ADD Network

The LD/ADD Network is an on-campus support group for students with learning differences that meets regularly for dinner to share ideas and strategies for coping with college life. The Student Life Intern for Student Support Services or another student with learning differences leads the group, but suggestions are always appreciated and we strive to bring topics and speakers that interest you.  Sharing experiences, ideas, and unique senses of humor may be the morale boost you need!  Meetings are also opportunities for students to communicate with guest "experts" about study skills, relaxation techniques, etc., and to share helpful strategies with one another.

To get involved, please contact our Fall 2009 Intern, Chloe Waterman, at waterman@lclark.edu. 

Student Support Services Board

The SSS Board is convened by the Student Life Intern. Its primary purpose is to gather a variety of students who are interested in issues surrounding disability services and to advise the Coordinator of Student Support Services on issues of importance to students with disabilities.

The mission of the Student Support Services board is to foster a welcoming and supportive environment for students with learning differences and other disabilities through awareness, understanding and celebration of difference in the Lewis and Clark Community. The board is dedicated to the success of students with disabilities on campus and actively supports self-advocacy and community involvement.

The board strives to enhance students’ experiences at L&C through helping students with disabilities strategize, understand their own learning style, and accept their unique minds. The board also promotes a social network in which students can discuss the non-academic issues which often come with disabilities and to simply relax and enjoy one another’s company.

The board plans and executes programs each year designed to educate the entire campus and celebrate learning diversity, such as the Thinking Outside the Box Olympics, which has featured such activities as a Rube Goldberg invention contest, a Pin the Brainstem on the Dyslexic Brain competition, a speed-sculpture contest, and many more, accompanied, naturally, by “brain food” (high-protein snacks, dark chocolates, energy drinks, etc.)
