Course Descriptions
Enroll in LDN636 during Winter term
The field of Postsecondary Disability Services is a critical component of ensuring access for many students with disabilities. Disability services professionals come to the field with a variety of educational backgrounds (e.g., higher education and student affairs, special education, vocational rehabilitation, psychology, etc.) and experiences that they use to work with and for students with disabilities. Although varied backgrounds are a strength of the profession, professionals also require a solid understanding of the disability services profession itself. This course will provide new and experienced disability services professionals with a solid understanding of the profession, its history, and its function, as well as an in-depth understanding of the unique and varied students whom disability services professionals serve. Particular attention will be paid to the diversity of disability services programs and students. Enrolled students will develop action plans and tools for developing disability services offices that meet legal guidelines and enhance access, equity, and inclusion of postsecondary students with disabilities. Although this course has an emphasis on services for students with learning disabilities, ADHD, and autism; other disability types and topics relevant to all disability types will be discussed.
