Services for Students with Disabilities

Services for Students with Disabilities (SSD) provides services to students with visual impairments, learning disabilities, mobility impairments, or hearing impairments. We also work with students who have chronic health problems or psychological disabilities. SSD offers services which are not provided by other University offices or outside organizations. We provide such services as accessible campus transportation, adaptive technology, sign language and oral interpreting, readers and other volunteers, guidance for course accommodations, and requests to modify degree requirements. Our services are free of charge.

Before and after a student enrolls at the University, SSD staff are available to answer questions and provide referrals concerning admission, registration, services available, financial aid, etc. In addition, SSD can help assess the need for modified housing, attendants, interpreters, transportation, classroom accommodations, note-takers, and adaptive equipment.

Some might be particularly interested in the Volunteer Reader Program, which
is run by SSD. It consists of students reading material onto cassette for use by students with visual impairments or print disabilities. The primary qualification the reader must have is a clear speaking voice. Volunteers are also needed to edit scanned printed materials to be put onto disk. The primary qualification for this task is strong text editing skills.
