WHAT TYPES OF SERVICES ARE AVAILABLE FOR STUDENTS WITH DISABILITIES?

D'Youville provides accommodations to students on a case-by-case basis based on the recommendations provided in your documentation.

REGARDING MY DISABILITY, WHAT WILL I NEED TO DO DIFFERENTLY IN COLLEGE?

In high school, it was your parents and your school officials’ responsibility to determine your needs and to make sure you received the proper services and accommodations. In college, it becomes your responsibility to seek out services since no one will approach you about your disability. It is up to you to contact the Coordinator of Disability Services and not simply inform your instructors of your disability. Steps to take:

Self-identify by informing the Coordinator of Disability Services.
Provide appropriate documentation as determined by the Coordinator of Disability Services.
Be proactive, self-advocate. Inform the Coordinator of Disability Services and your instructors if there is a problem with your accommodations.

HOW CONFIDENTIAL IS THE INFORMATION REGARDING MY DISABILITY?
Information regarding your disability is kept on file in the Office of Coordinator of Disability Services. No one sees this information except the Coordinator of Disability Services. In order for anyone else to see this information, you must sign a “Release of Information” form.
