YOUR ROLE
Accessibility Services supports students with disabilities using a variety of accommodations. While you may have personal experience supporting someone with a particular disability, it is important to understand that accommodations are tailored to each student – not each disability.
Not all students with a disability will choose to register with Accessibility Services. You may even encounter a student who is unaware that they have a disability. You can learn more about recognizing common disabilities, along with additional ways to support your students in the Faculty Guide.
