Students with disabilities at De Anza are involved in a broad range of campus life
activities, including the newspaper, literary magazine, clubs, and student government.
Students with disabilities have even served as the Student Trustee on the District's
Board of Trustees.
The DSPS programs each offer a variety of extra-curricular activities for their own
enrolled students.
The Adapted Physical Education (APE) program hosts a Holiday Party annually, and such
events as end of quarter barb-e-cues or ice cream socials. The APE Outdoor Education
class takes field trips to a variety of local parks and places of interest. Disability
Support Services often hosts Open House drop-in events at holidays like Halloween
and Valentine's Day.
The programs participate in outreach extracurricular events to the campus, such as
in-service and awareness activities. "Deaf Town" offered through the Deaf and Hard
of Hearing Services (DHHS) in 2007 was such a campus-wide event.
In spring quarter, DSPS sponsors a Student Celebration reception honoring students
who are finishing degrees or certificate programs or who are transferring to a four-year
university.
Pictures of many of these events may be seen in the individual program's web-site
Picture Galleries.
