Overview of Accessibility Services

Purpose of Accessibility Support Services

  • Provide services and accommodations to students with disabilities
  • Work closely with faculty and staff in an advisory capacity

  • Provide equal access for “otherwise qualified” individuals with disabilities

Qualified Individual (Sec 504)

  • Have a physical or mental impairment which substantially limits one or more major life activity
  • Meets academic and technical standards requisite to admission or participation in the education program or activity

Confidentiality

  • Disability documentation is confidential between the student and Accessibility Support Services except in emergencies
  • Any explicit or implicit inference to a particular student and the disability is inappropriate

Eligibility Verification

  • Depends on the nature of the disability and its impact on learning per the documentation
    • Identification of the nature and extent of the disability
