South Piedmont Community College has received a $5,000 grant from the Union County Community Foundation.

The program is for students 18 or older with developmental disabilities or traumatic brain injury. Classes focus on life skills and basic academic skills. Robin Pittman, SPCC’s basic skills coordinator, said the money will be used to purchase software focusing on reading, math and writing for everyday living; an adaptive computer with a touch screen and “lots of bells and whistles.”
