Disability Services

The primary objective of Disability Services is to empower qualified students with disabilities to engage in all facets of Fitchburg State University's academic, residential and student life.

What does Disability Services do?

Disability Services promotes equitable access to university opportunities by removing environmental and attitudinal barriers to the teaching and learning environment. To guide these efforts, Disability Services embraces the sociopolitical model of disability and the principles of universal design for the teaching and learning environment. To support equitable access to educational opportunities, Disability Services provides eligible students with individually tailored support services, academic skill-building, reasonable accommodations and training in the use of adaptive technologies.
