Services for individuals with disabilities are coordinated by professional advisors through the Student Life Center. Programs and services for individuals with disabilities have been developed to ensure that higher education environments at Teachers College are physically, programmatically, and attitudinally accessible. Appropriate services and programs are provided for academic program support and Teachers College events. Registration Teachers College community members are encouraged to schedule an appointment with the Director to determine appropriate accommodations. Services are available only to individuals who are registered and submit appropriate documentation.
Students can register for services throughout the semester.
However, students are strongly encouraged to review service requirements with the Director at the beginning of each semester. Each individual requesting services at the Office of Access and Services for Individuals with Disabilities must schedule an appointment for an intake interview. The intake is a sharing of information which results in an individualized written accommodation plan outlining service options that the individual may utilize. A confidential file is created which is separate from the official file kept by the institution. Information in an individual's file may be accessed by the individual at any time he or she wishes, provided there is a written request.
