The Goal of Disability Services:
Arkansas State University Disability Services is committed to providing opportunities in higher education for students with disabilities who demonstrate reasonable ability for college success. Although ASU does not offer a specialized curriculum for persons with disabilities or assume the role of a rehabilitation center, ASU offers a variety of support services so that students with disabilities are admitted and integrated as completely as possible into the university. Responsibility is shared with the student for modifying campus facilities and programs to meet individual needs. For example, some students may need
interpreters, whereas other students may hear or read lips well enough to use classroom
note takers. In some cases, students may require both services. Students registered with DS have access to resources that will enable them to manage daily activities in the university setting. ASU offers physical and technological access as well as auxiliary aids, accessible facilities, and reasonable accommodations for the classroom. Physical and programmatic access have been provided. Disability Services
goal is to provide students with disabilities access to resources that will enable them to manage daily activities in the university
setting.
