The Psychoeducational Research and Training Centre (PRTC)
is a multidisciplinary centre for research and graduate
training in the Faculty of Education at the University of
British Columbia. As a setting for the training of various
specialties in education (i.e., school psychologists,
counselors, learning assistance teachers, etc), the PRTC
maintains an up-to-date Test Library of assessment
instruments and other educational resources which can be
borrowed by qualified UBC faculty and students. The PRTC also
supports both applied and basic research in education and
psychology. Children and adults may be referred to the PRTC
for Psychoeducational assessment by graduate students under
the supervision of faculty members as part of their graduate
training or as part of ongoing research projects. A fee is
charged for such services. In addition, the Centre provides
service and leadership in the field and in the community
through the sponsorship of various workshops, institutes,
self-study groups, etc, and through the PRTC Hotline, an
informational service aimed at providing information to
school professionals on issues related to Psychoeducational
assessment and research in schools.

The Disability Resource Centre works with the University
to eliminate systemic, structural and attitudinal barriers,
promotes disability-related services, research, teaching and
program initiatives, assists with transition from school,
college, and community to UBC and acts as a liaison with
faculty and staff regarding disability issues. The Centre
coordinates services such as mobility assistance,
interpreting and captioning and facilitates the provision of
specialized equipment for faculty, staff and students with
disabilities. UBC students with disabilities may also be
eligible for note taking, peer tutoring, book retrieval
and/or accommodated examinations. Crane Resource Centre, a
unit of the DRC, produces materials in alternate formats and
provides access to and training on adaptive technology
equipment for blind and visually or print impaired persons.

materials related to post- secondary education and
disability.
