可访问性资源 at M State

M State is committed to ensuring equal access to our facilities, services and academic programs for students with disabilities. The Office of 可访问性资源 (formerly Disability Services) works in partnership with faculty, staff and students to remove disability-related barriers to education through reasonable accommodations for qualified students. We provide information and resources to support an environment that is accessible and inclusive for all individuals.

学生 seeking disability-related accommodations must self-dis关闭 the nature of their disability to the 可访问性资源 office. We serve currently enrolled students (including PSEO and concurrent) who experience barriers in school settings due to the impact of a diagnosis such as:

Mental health conditions (anxiety disorders, depression, bipolar disorders, schizophrenia)
Learning disabilities (dyslexia, dysgraphia, dyscalculia, reading, math)
添加/多动症
自闭症谱系障碍
Blind, vision loss or impairment
Deaf, deafness, hearing loss
身体残疾的
Brain injuries (TBI, concussion)
Severe allergies (food, environmental)
Chronic health conditions (diabetes, cancers, autoimmune disorders)
Other conditions that lead to disability
