EDUCATIONAL
SERVICES FOR STUDENTS

Students at Case are not required to disclose disability information to anyone. However, in order to use services and appropriate accommodations, students should notify the Associate Director of Disability Resources in Educational Services for Students, 470 Sears Building.

The Associate Director of Disability Resources or any other ESS staff member that is aware of your disability will keep this information strictly confidential. Students decide who needs to know about their disability. ESS is the only department that will determine your eligibility.

The Associate Director of Disability Resources will work closely with students and design an individual plan for accommodations. Included in that plan are strategies for disclosure to professors as well as identifying specific accommodations that will be needed for each course.

Accommodations and services are available for students with a variety of disabilities including: visual impairment, hearing impairment, mobility limitations, chronic illness, psychological disorders and learning disabilities.

Students are "fitted" with the services and accommodations that will be most helpful for their particular needs. We are able to offer the following: advocacy, special testing accommodations, adaptive equipment, scheduling assistance, transportation assistance, access to audio-taped text material, note-taking assistance, interpreters, parking assistance and accessible housing.

Students with temporary disabilities such as broken or sprained limbs and acute illness should also contact the Associate Director of Disability Resources in ESS. Under these circumstances, accommodations can be made for the duration of the problem. Accommodations can include transportation, special parking, and testing accommodations as needed.
