The Disabled Students' Residence Program
The Disabled Students' Residence Program (DSRP) is an exciting opportunity for students with disabilities to participate academically at a major university while developing the skills and confidence needed to live successful and independent lives. Historically, the program has served students with severe physical disabilities and will continue to do so while expanding the program to include students with other disabilities such as Autism Spectrum Disorders who need assistance with independent living skills.
Services
- Personal Care Assistance and Attendant Training for students with severe physical disabilities
- Acquisition and Management of Attendants for personal care
- Financial/Community Resource Management
- Disability Management
- Personal/Social Development
- Employment Readiness (including introduction to Cal Transitions Workability IV)
Services are provided in two phases
Phase 1 is a one year transitional program with students acquiring competencies in the service areas listed above.
Phase 2 includes those students who need the above services on a less intensive basis and who do not need personal care assistance and attendant training.
Students in Phase 1, participate in the DSRP for two semesters, living in fully accessible private dorm rooms with the general residence hall student population. For students with severe physical disabilities, DSRP staff members assist students in hiring, training, and using personal assistants.
DSRP is co-sponsored by UCB and the California Department of Rehabilitation (DOR).
