What does the office of Academic Support Services for Students with Disabilities do?
• We coordinate accommodations for eligible students on a course by course basis each semester. • We work individually with students as “academic coaches,” educating them about study strategies and time management. Moreover, we refer them to other academic support services on campus such as the Peer Tutoring Services and the Center for Math, Writing, and Study Skills. • The Director of Academic Support Services is available to provide informational workshops to departments and university offices in order to elucidate the services we provide, to educate about disability-related issues, and also to provide updates on disability law. • We individually consult with instructors when there are concerns about a particular student’s needs. • We refer students to other professional services on campus when appropriate.
