Disability Services Offices

Disability Services Offices (DSOs) are specialized support centers found in educational institutions that assist students with disabilities. Their primary role is to ensure equal access to education by providing accommodations, such as extra time for tests, note-taking services, or accessible classroom environments. DSOs work closely with students to understand their needs and advocate for their rights within the institution. They also help educate faculty and staff about disability policies and best practices to create an inclusive atmosphere. Overall, DSOs aim to empower students with disabilities to succeed academically and participate fully in campus life.
