Learning Disabilities Support Services (LDSS), part of the Undergraduate Advising and Academic Support Center (UAASC), is a University suppport service for all students with documented learning disabilities. Students are eligible for services if they can document their learning disability with the appropriate diagnostic evidence. LDSS does not service students whose primary diagnosis is Attention Deficit Disorder. These students should seek assistance from the Program for Students with Psychological/Medical Disabilities.

Once students are approved for services they are assigned a Case Manager, who works with each student to develop an Individualized Written Plan on which accommodations are based. Students with learning differences are encouraged to maintain regular contact with LDSS to allow the staff to offer support in a variety of ways.

Case managers help students notify faculty about recommended accommodations, which could include extended time for exams and assignments, books on tape, note-takers, prepared materials before class or an alternate test format. LDSS also assists students by locating tutor services.

LDSS takes an interdisciplinary approach to servicing students with learning differences. For more information or to make an appointment, call or visit LDSS.
