Disability Services
The Office of Disability Services (ODS) provides academic accommodations to students as well as work place accommodation plans for faculty and staff with documented disabilities. The primary goal of ODS is to assist students in college level courses while empowering them to be independent as well as self-advocating. ODS provides services and coordinates accommodations to meet the needs of students with disabilities and can act as an advocate for student rights or liaison to UIS administration. All academic accommodations are individualized and flexible based upon the history, severity, and functional limitations of the disability. Accommodations may include, American Sign Language Interpreters, CART Reports, Braille, E-text, Text on Tape, Alternate Formatting, Extended Test Time, Peer Note Takers, Scribes, and Adaptive technology.
In addition, an Adaptive Technology Lab is available in the Student Life Building as well as adaptive equipment in the UIS Health and Sciences Building.
