DISABILITY SERVICES PROGRAM

The Disability Services Program provides services for students with disabilities at Wayne State College. Disability Services are offered through the Counseling Center and include: determining eligibility for services, referral to appropriate resources and responding to requests for accommodations. Accommodations can include; exam accommodations, recorded books and campus reader service, learning strategies, support/discussion groups and screening and referral for evaluation.

Please note: Disability Services are open to all WSC students. The STRIDE program is a federally funded TRIO Student Support Service program that serves a specified number of eligible students each year. STRIDE does not provide disability services although some STRIDE participating students have documented disabilities and also receive Disability Services.

Students who are interested in learning more about these services are invited to look through the Disability Services Program website and/or contact the Counseling Center at 402-375-7321 for more information. The Disability Services Program is located in the Student Center, room 103. E-mail questions to jamackl1@wsc.edu.
