Step 1: Getting to the disability service office (DSO):

How does a student like Deborah find out about and contact the Disability Service Office on their campus?

Deborah knew she would need sign language interpreting and other services; however, she didn’t know how to get these services at college. Before high school graduation, Deborah met with her guidance counselor to discuss how she would receive services at the university. The guidance counselor told her that the university would have a Disability Service Office (DSO) that would provide the disability-related services she would need. Deborah found out about the DSO through her high school guidance counselor; however, many students with disabilities learn about these services via faculty.
