I enrolled at College of San Mateo at the recommendation of my educational therapist immediately following high school. I was advised that DSPS was particularly suited to help with my dyslexia. The services and help I received at DSPS greatly aided me in adjusting to college life. The staff is awesome, helpful, and patient. I had the privilege of working for DSPS as an educational coach for three semesters.

Upon completion of my 70 transferable units, I transferred to San Francisco State University (SFSU) possessing many of the skills required to accomplish my goal of becoming a historian. Little did I know that when I stepped into SFSU’s Disabled Persons Resource Center (DPRC) that the training and skills I acquired at CSM would lead to a student job in the DPRC. I now tutor students in using the assistive technology I learned at CSM – Kurzweil 3000 and Dragon NaturallySpeaking.
