Does the Education Department supply appropriate supports for me to achieve academically if I have special cognitive, social or physical needs?
NWU has a commitment to provide appropriate supports to individuals with disabilities. Once a student has had their disability formally verified, the Office for Students with Disabilities will coordinate support services as needed and deemed appropriate. Faculty members will be notified of the appropriate accommodations and modifications necessary to assist a student and they are then legally responsible to fulfill them. So, I guess the answer to the question is that the responsibility for verification, discernment of services and coordination of service delivery is all outside of the department; however education faculty are responsible for actually implementing the requirements and are willing to do so. Just notify your department advisor and/or instructors.
