Lesley University - Disability Support Services

The University is committed to the full participation of students in all programs. Disability Support Services (DSS) is a catalyst for facilitating students' equity and excellence in education, maximizing their potential while helping them develop and maintain independence. DSS philosophy encourages self-awareness, self-determination, self-advocacy, and independence while providing a safe, caring, and respectful environment that cultivates growth and learning.

Disability Support Services provides a range of individualized support services for students with disabilities.  The office works with faculty, staff, and students, on- and off-campus, to create and implement appropriate accommodations that allow all students an equal opportunity inside the classroom and around campus.
