The TECHniques Center Is More Than Tutoring

The TECHniques Center is a fee-for-service program of Student Disability Services. The only tutoring program of its kind in Texas, the TECHniques Center provides supplemental academic support services to meet the needs of, and to promote the retention of, undergraduate students with documented evidence of Learning Disabilities and Attention Deficit/Hyperactiviety Disorders. The TECHniques Center supports students in maintaining their focus, accomplishing their educational goals, and making education accessible to those who learn differently.

Why the TECHniques Center?

"What the TECHniques Center offered our daughter was a continuation of support for her learning needs and an important reinforcement that she was not “different” or in any way less capable than other students at Tech. The TECHniques Center provided her with a base within the academic environment in which she felt a part of the university in a real way. I am personally amazed at the way the TECHniques Center made her feel valued, and almost the center of attention, among a student population of 30,000."

"I can only give my highest praises to the TECHniques Center at Texas Tech University. My success as an undergraduate student is directly correlated with the support provided by the staff in TECHniques Center. I graduated Magna Cum Laude from Texas Tech in May 2010 with a Bachelors of Science in Human Development and Family Studies."
