Disability-Related Counseling
Disability Management Specialist provide disability-related counseling and support services to help students navigate academic, personal, and social challenges related to their disability. Our goal is to empower students through individualized support that promotes self-advocacy, well-being, and academic success.
Counseling services may include:
- Guidance on managing the impact of a disability in academic settings
- Assistance with accommodation planning and implementation
- Support with adjustment to college life and self-advocacy skills
- Referrals to on-campus and community mental health and wellness resources
Accommodations
The Office for Students with Disabilities offers accommodations to ensure access and support services to promote success. Reasonable accommodations are determined individually, based on your specific needs and disability-related functional limitations, through an interactive process with a Disability Management Specialist.
As a student, you must log in to the OSD Student Portal (AIM) to request accommodations every academic term for each class in which you’ll require accommodations. It is crucial that you keep up with your accommodation requests in OSD, so you establish and maintain a clear understanding with your professors about how and when you will use accommodations in their courses.
