Our Philosophy
Wright State University takes pride in its diverse student population. We believe that a student's college education is an opportunity to develop academically, vocationally, and personally. Thus our program provides more than the required services. We strive to teach students skills that will assist them as they transition into the world. The department often partners with other academic programs in researching disability-related issues. This focus is the reason that we are ranked as a national leader in accommodating students with disabilities.
Our Services
WSU's Office of Disability Services provides a variety of services designed to assist the Wright State community. Please visit our Services page for more information about what we provide.
The Office of Disability Services offers services, programs, and activities that allow students with disabilities to participate in all facets of university life. Students with disabilities are encouraged to develop independence to the fullest extent possible and to assume responsibility for their chosen lifestyles.
In addition to the 140 clubs and organizations that are open to students, Wright State has several extracurricular programs that offer unique opportunities for students with disabilities. These programs include adapted athletics, intramurals, and recreation.
Eligibility
Applicants requiring services available to students with physical and/or learning disabilities should contact the Office of Disability Services prior to enrollment. A pre-service interview and professional documentation of disability are required prior to utilization of our services. The purpose of the interview is to assess disability-related needs and to plan services accordingly. Most services are provided to students at no cost, however fee-based services such as personal assistance and out of class reader/writer assistance can be billed directly to agencies or students.
