Faculty and Staff referals of students with disabilities: Since students with disabilities have to self-identify with ODS to begin the process of recieving services there is no formal process for referring students to the Office of Disability Services(ODS), but please reach out to ODS should you have questions or concerns about a student who you suspect may need accommodations. Feel free to walk students down, e-mail, or call with inquiries about student concerns or issues you have that seem disability related, and the Coordinator will work with you to discuss options of connecting the student to ODS.
ODS also welcomes all inquiries or input about disability law, the process of recieving services, accommodation coordination, and any issue related to disability services. In addition, the Coordinator would appreciate hearing from faculty and staff about programming or training you would like from ODS to raise disability awareness on campus. Thank you for helping ODS serve all HT students.
