Philosophy
Disability Services provides leadership and guidance regarding accommodations and universal access, which requires a collaborative relationship among all members of the university community.
Core Values
- Human variation is natural and vital in the development of dynamic communities
- Building and using an academic success toolkit (i.e., self-advocacy skills, resources, various study strategies) is essential for all students
- Responsibility for meaningful and universal access belongs to all
- A diverse and stimulating university community is a shared responsibility; disability is diversity
- Universal design is essential for achieving inclusion and social participation of all
