Does your student have a disability, medical condition, learning difference, ADHD, mental health condition, or other documented need for accommodations?

Join the Office of Student Accessibility Services to learn how students can access accommodations and support services that promote academic success and full participation in campus life. This session will explain the transition from high school to college accommodations, how to register for services, and the important role students play in self-advocacy.

Parents and families will leave with a better understanding of how to support their student's successful transition while encouraging independence and confidence.

Topics Include:

  • How to register for accommodations
  • Differences between high school and college disability services
  • Academic accommodations and assistive technology
  • Campus resources that support student success
  • Tips for helping your student become a confident self-advocate

Empower your student with the tools and resources to thrive at UMass Dartmouth!
