Welcome to DSPS

The image is a flyer, square in shape, with a sky-blue-colored background overlaid with two small white clouds, one in the top left corner and one in the top right, and three small flying birds. The Napa Valley College header is at the top center followed by the headline “Celebrate National Disability Employment Awareness Month 2022.” Below that line, in smaller font size, the 2022 NDEAM theme, “Disability: Part of the Equity Equation,” is displayed. The next line, in a different whimsical font type, reads “If all you see is a disability, you will miss…” with four silhouetted individuals lined up in a row below it each made up of puzzle pieces with adjectives written on them. The left-most individual is made up of monochromatic purple puzzle pieces that read the following adjectives: mighty, leader, enough, inquisitive, original, bold, intelligent, friendly, enthusiastic, enough, kind, accepting, individual, intuitive, eye-opening. To the right of that individual is the second silhouetted person made up of monochromatic red puzzle pieces that read the following adjectives: charismatic, exceptional, teachers, artistic, capable, accepting, sincere, loyal, humbling, talented. The next figure to the right of the previous is composed of green and blue puzzle pieces that read the following adjectives: courageous, authentic, detailed, brilliant, loving, resilient, unique, earnest, powerful, curious, evolving, full of life, drive, clever, efficient. The right-most individual is composed of orange and yellow puzzle pieces with the following adjectives: teachable, understanding, aware, talented, repetitive, fun, joyful, honest, complex, brave. Below the four individuals in smaller, centered black letters reads “Visit us at the DSPS Office Today! McCarthy Library, 1700 Building Second Floor, Room 1766, DSPS Office Hours: Monday – Thursday 8am – 5pm, Fridays 8am – 2pm, Phone: (707) 256-7345.” The last line at the bottom says “For the DSPS Website use QR code” followed by a thick, blue arrow pointing to the right where you will find the QR code with a black dialogue bubble above it that says “SCAN ME”. In the left corner, equal in size to the QR code, is an image with a dark blue background of the commonly used icons used for people with disabilities: a side view of a silhouetted individual sitting in a wheelchair, the outline of an ear with sound waves beside it, two hands indicating a word being communicated in sign language, the letters cc, 3 rows of 2 dots with “Braille” written underneath it, a phone with sound waves coming from the earpiece, and a silhouetted person walking with a cane.
