I am so glad that I registered with Disability Services here at UMass! It was honestly one of the best decisions that I have made. Everyone in the department is extremely amiable, outgoing and genuinely interested in how my social life and academic career is going. I was accepted by the DS community as soon as I stepped into the office for my first appointment. Working with Disability Services has made my college experience much more comfortable and calm. I couldn’t have gone through my first year without their guidance and support. - Kaya Middleton
