Changes in Services for Students with Disabilities

Disability Services will become - Accessible Learning Services

After consultation with both internal stakeholders and a review of other
institutions, Disability Services will be changing their name to
Accessible Learning Services as of June 1st, 2010. All forms, materials
and website information will be changed to accurately reflect the new
name. More information on this change will be forthcoming to the
Sheridan Community.

In addition to the name change our office would like to welcome two new
full-time staff people to the Davis Campus.

Theresa Cheng was the successful candidate for the Disability Services
Advisor at the Davis Campus. I am pleased that Theresa will be able to
continue to be with us on on a full-time basis at Sheridan. Theresa has
been working part-time in the role for almost the last two years. She
has a strong commitment to students and I look forward to her continuing
her work with our Davis team. Theresa holds a Bachelors Degree in
Psychology from the University of Toronto, and is currently working on
her Learning Strategist Certificate from Cambrian College. Her previous
work experience included time with Epilepsy Mississauga and the Yee Hong
Long Term Care Centre.

Sabrina Lakhani has accepted the Clerk- Receptionist role at the Davis
Campus. Some of you may remember Sabrina when she worked at the
Trafalgar Campus in Disability Services/Counselling. In addition to
working at Sheridan, Sabrina has worked at George Brown College and
TD/Waterhouse Canada in support functions. Sabrina holds a Advanced
Financial Planning Diploma from George Brown

Please join me in welcoming both Theresa and Sabrina.
