The mission of Disabled Student Services (DSS) is to increase access and retention for students with permanent and temporary disabilities by ensuring equitable access. The atmosphere in UH-101 is helpful and congenial, and students are encouraged to discuss their individual needs with the professional and support staff. Students are required to provide documentation verifying the disability before services can be provided.
DSS provides a wide range of support services and accommodations related to the specific disability of a studentincluding:
- readers and scribes
- sign-language interpreters and oral interpreters
- real-time captioning
- notetakers and/or audio taping of lecture
- testing accommodations
- print material in alternate formats on request (electronic text, Braille, large print)
- specialized equipment
- adaptive software and computers with training for both.
Professional staff provides: academic, career and personal counseling; orientation and registration assistance; assistance as a liaison with sponsoring agencies (such as the Department of Rehabilitation and the Veteran’s Administration).
Temporary Disabled Person (DP) parking on campus is coordinated by Disabled Student Services. Faculty, staff and students with temporary disabilities that may preclude or impair walking for distances may obtain information and a short-term Disabled Person Parking permit through DSS.
