Disability Service Office

As you can imagine, designing individual, course-specific accommodations is complex. Thankfully, most universities have a designated Disability Service Office (DSO) to do that job. We will refer to this office as the DSO (Disability Service Office) throughout this program.

The DSO oversees and coordinates a variety of disability-related services. DSO staff may:

• provide training and support for faculty, students, and departments
• advocate for rights of students with disabilities
• evaluate students’ eligibility for accommodations
• recommend and coordinate accommodations
• provide accommodations
