The Compensatory Education program focuses on helping individuals with intellectual disabilities become as independent and self-directed as possible through acquiring basic and life skills needed to function successfully in daily living. To be eligible to participate in the Compensatory Education program, an individual must be 17 or older, and (a) diagnosed with intellectual disabilities or (b) functioning on a level equivalent to intellectual disabilities resulting from head injury or brain damage. Randolph Community College is required by the North Carolina Community College System Audit Services to have on file proof of eligibility. This condition must be determined and certified by a qualified professional, such as a physician, psychiatrist, psychologist, etc. and must have been documented within the past ten years.
Classes are free and are offered in the Archdale and Asheboro areas. For more information, contact Tonya Monroe, Compensatory Education coordinator, at 336-633-0254 or tcmonroe@randolph.edu.
