VI.               ACCOMMODATIONS

A.          Access

Equal access to BPT parole proceedings shall be made available to inmates/parolees with qualified disabilities, which include, but are not limited to, the following:

 

·        Verified physical disabilities, whether or not the disability impacts placement consistent with the Disability Placement Program (DPP).

·        Identified developmental disabilities consistent with the Developmental Disability Program (DDP).

·        Mental health needs, which require participation in the MHSDS, regardless of the level of care.

·        Learning disability.  While CDC is not required to verify learning disabilities, CDC does recognize documentation in the C-File that verifies a learning disability.

·        In addition, a reading score of 4.0 or lower may be reflective of a learning disability.

Equal access shall be achieved by use of accommodations such as auxiliary aids, sign language interpreter, staff assistance, or specially trained attorneys.  For inmates/parolees with mobility and vision impairments, the CDC and BPT will ensure the hearing sites are accessible.
